Those sites are interesting but why not go straight to the heart of the
matter. Get at 64-bit netinst. Run it. Shrink the Windows partition if
necessary. Or get rid of Windows. Install Debian. Couldn't be easier.
You are in control with this. No need to search for websites with
64-bit versions of some software which is intended for someone actually
having Windows and wanting to install Debian from it without putting any
effort into it.
