Re: Regarding Installation over Windows 10



Thanks Ben for replying. 

I know the architecture of my machine which is 64-bit(amd) 
But check this link - https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/bt-dvd/
I am following this. Here when you scroll down, you will find 3 iso files. I have downloaded the first one. 

My question is do i have to download the other two also & what's the use of other two? 

Thanks!

Welcome! Thank you for choosing to install Debian.

The installation guide is at
<URL:https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual>, you can
choose one for your language.

Different architectures are incompatible; they need separate
installation programs. You will need to choose the right one (and choose
the corresponding Debian installation manual).


You will need to know the “architecture” of your machine; this is a term
roughly meaning “what is the CPU in the machine”.

For a machine on which you are running MS Windows, the architecture is
almost certainly “64-bit PC (amd64)”.
