Your computer looks like it has a UEFI Windows system installed, but
booted the Debian installed in legacy (BIOS) mode. To fix things, the
quickest way is probably to re-start the Debian installer and make
sure it's using UEFI. See
https://wiki.debian.org/UEFI#How_to_tell_if_you.27ve_booted_via_UEFI
for more info. You'll probably need to go into your computer's
BIOS/firmware setup to make sure it's configured to boot removable
media in UEFI mode by preference.
