The best way to find that out is to get a Live version of Debian, and see if boots and runs without problems. > Device name LAPTOP-R4DB7V5U > Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-10110U CPU @ 2.10GHz 2.59 GHz > Installed RAM 4.00 GB (3.81 GB usable) > Device ID CAACC244-37B7-4294-84E4-E73B9C030FDF > Product ID 00356-02325-39311-AAOEM > System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor > Pen and touch No pen or touch input is available for this display > > Edition Windows 10 Home > Version 21H1 > Installed on 4/2/2021 > OS build 19043.1288 > Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.3920.0 > > i know about enough to fill a thimble but i'm hopeful and any guidance > would be greatly appreciated and i would follow it to the T's 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.
