Hello,

I have copied debian-12.11.0-amd64-netinst.iso to a USB stick and its
size is 702545920.

I prefer the netinst ISO... may be a bit of a challenge for you, see below


Am I correct in thinking that I can boot from this on a new laptop
(after adjusting boot sequence) and then install Debian on that laptop
wiping out the OS it was sold with?


yes. The installer is very powerful and a bit complicated for many.

a more "user friendly" installer (calamares) is included with the Live ISOs.


Regards,
Robert
