It's hard to know how to download Debian ? though I tried many links
on your download page but still don't know what to download & how to
download.
the simple way is to use the forst dvd
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/8.2.0/amd64/iso-dvd/debian-8.2.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso
that allows both 32 bits and 64 bits installs
I am using Pentium 4 CPU 3.2GHz and 3 GB of Ram & 32 bit computer. I
run both Window xp & Windows 7 on it & have 80 GB hard disk drive.
80 gb is not large, but you need not more than 10Gb for debian (at
first).
Better begin to make room on the disk with windows 7 (make any
partition smaller with the disk manager, and let some free space on
the disk (10Gb recommended), Debian installer will find it)
just be cautious when debian ask you to partition the disk not to
erase any windows partition
you can also if you have a fast internet use the small image here:
http://netboot.xyz/#bootloader-downloads
you can even write them to a floppy and boot from there then choose
debian
be aware that isos have to be written specially to any disk, dvd or
usb device (for usb, use "rufus" on widows)

Did I miss that you were going to create a dual boot system? If so, my
personal experience with dual boot systems on the same hard drive has
not been good. I much prefer using VirtualBox from Oracle.
As for as installation is concerned, I don't see the problem. The Debian
home page clearly list Getting Debian. Assuming that you have reasonable
network access, use the network install option and the Small CD's or USB
sticks option. Download the i386 iso file and burn to CD. ( I have never
heard of a 486 chip set with amd64 capability. Be safe. Use i386). You
will never notice the difference.) The burned CD is self booting. Most
of the initial information is stored in a ramdisk and will not mess up
your old system. This is true up to the point where you re-partition
your hard drive.
Hope this helps
