Do you want to do a brand new installation, wiping your 11.6 installation, or upgrade from 11.6 to the later versions? In either case, I recommend you stick with 12.9, bookworm. "[N]othing happens" doesn't tell me much. Did you follow some instructions? If so, which ones? Where are they, so we can read them. And how far did you get? What didn't happen that you think ought to have happened? Or what happened that you think ought not to have happened? > Am I missing a step?

Have you looked at the Debian Installation Guide? Having recommended that you stick with bookworm, I suggest you try https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual If your machine will have an Internet connection during installation, I suggest the "netinst" image, the "small installation image" on https://www.debian.org/distrib/. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
