    Since you’re migrating from Windows you’ll likely want to easily transfer data between Debian and Windows.

    If you install both on the same machine, with dual boot, see the NTFS page to transfer files from Windows drives. If you use a separate machine, the easiest IMHO is using a Network Share to access Windows files.

    If you intend to keep using both for a while, look into a sync solution rather than migration. See syncthing for instance.

    This should help get started with the migration, access your documents. If you already use Firefox/Chrome, it should be possible to install the same browser and export+import profile/settings.

    If you’re looking for specific software on Debian or have issues, ask about it to get more specific comments.
