The best way to find that out is to get a Live version of Debian, and
see if boots and runs without problems.

Since your knowledge of Linux admittedly is severely lacking, I would
recommend thoroughly researching Linux, in general, and Debian, in
particularly, BEFORE attempting any install. And the first attempt be
on a system you don't mind trashing.
And always keep in mind: Linux is NOT Windows. So never assume that
the way you did it on Windows will work on Linux.
Welcome to the neighborhood.
