I've worked a fair bit with Ubuntu, which is a variant of Debian so I imagine a lot of the issues are similar.
The easiest way to create a bootable USB is using a a tool called Rufus, it basically allow you to create a Bootable USB from the iso image you have downloaded.
One thing to be aware of is Ubuntu (so I can imagine debian may be the same) can be funny with Secure Boot. If you have this enabled in your BIOS then the may find the laptop won't boot to the USB Image, it will see the USB but not boot to it. If this happens go into the BIOS and check that Secure Boot is disabled.
