I'm not familiar with your particular laptop, but if it runs Windows 7, it should run Debian Bookworm well enough. A 15 years old laptop certainly won't be a high-performance system, but it should be usable. Unless you know that you want to install something from the second DVD during the initial installation, just the first one should be sufficient to get you up and running. Alternatively, as already mentioned, the netinst image to reduce the initial download size at the cost of needing to download the packages you actually _do_ install during the installation process. -- Michael Kjörling 🔗 https://michael.kjorling.se “Remember when, on the Internet, nobody cared that you were a dog?”
