To do what you want to do, particularly witn Windows 10 factory
installed, is not as simple as putting in a Debian install disc or
flash drive, and off you go. You need to research the procedure:
Windows doesn't work or play well with others. Maybe, the following will
get you started:

Yes, I know it's for W8.1 and not W10, but the basic install process is
the same.
Personally, I abandoned Dual-Boot years ago. I install Windows in
VirtualBox under a Linux host. That way, I can run Linux and Windows
simultaneously and switch back and forth between them as needed.
