I fail to see what is the purpose of such secure boot fear. AFAIK, the debian dvd is uefi/gpt/secure boot capable. any install is pretty easy if and only if:* there is room on the disk. Either a free partition (some time d: on windows - empty it then delete it) of a partition you can shrink *with windows* as a first step - Just in case you want to keep windows as dual boot, if not do whatever you want. Debian will use this free space. 20Gb is enough, 50Gb plenty.
* the install dvd boots your computer and accept to install.It's only if the dvd do not boot or refuse to install that one have to try other options.
