Can some one tell me if there are any special things I need to do to put Debian 12 on this machine. I really hate windows and need to get it gone. Your help is always appreciated by this old lady.

Hi Maureen,
It will very much depend if your computer will boot from an exteral
CD/DVD which is USB connected. If it will - check in the BIOS / firmware,
then you should be fine.
If not, many machines will boot from a USB stick. You may find that yours
will do so, in which case the only thing you will need to do is to get the
image written appropriately to a USB drive.
We can help, potentially - there's enough expertise on the list to help
debug problems as they arise.
(Andy, just having done *lots* of Debian installs as part of the release
testing for the media team - but not one from an external CD/DVD drive -
from what I can see, the laptops I have do boot from external devices
connected via USB, though a CD/DVD might also be seen as a hard drive. Your
mileage may vary :) )
With every good wish, as ever,
Andy
