Hello Rohan, This might be better asked on debian-user which is the mailing list for user support. A couple of straightfrorward questions: Is this a first ever Debian install for you? Do you have any other operating system on the laptop that you wish to retain? Do you wnt the laptop to only run Debian? I would suggest that you use the standard Debian installer (rather than a Live DVD) and also that you use the unofficial installer which does contain the firmware found in non-free. https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/current/amd64/iso-cd/firmware-11.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso is the small netinst image. Hope this helps, With every good wish, Andrew Cater
