Did you try an expert install with GRUB in the "removable media path"
when prompted ?
There is something Debian does not like about my Dell Optiplex 7040
Or rather something that your Optiplex does not like about Debian, if it
complains and Debian did not.
I googled and found this:

Hey @bmc5311 , thank you very much for your post and solution! I just
got a 2nd hand Dell Optiplex 3040 (updated to latest firmware) and after
successfully installing Debian at the first try, I couldn't boot it,
either with UEFI or legacy BIOS. With UEFI I got redirected to the Dell
system check automatically.
To expand what you put in the pastebin with the right solution:
1) install Debian from USB as usual
2) reboot and it won't boot into Debian, with UEFI activated
3) reboot again in the installation media and select "Rescue mode" from
the Grub advanced options
4) enter the rescue mode, configure keyboard etc and then choose to open
a shell in the root partition (say yes to the /boot partition question)
5) at the prompt, execute `grub-install`
6) at the prompt, execute now `grub-install --removable`
7) poweroff, remove the USB key and reboot into Debian and enjoy it!
TBH I'm not sure step 5 is needed, I think that it is 6 that did the
trick, but anyway it won't hurt.
Again, thanks for your help bmc5311!
May be this helps.
Rolf
