Yes i installed and changed the boot order to do Debian first, disabled secure and fast boot also. I heard that could cause som issues

It can, but that’s not what I meant. When booting linux, do you see the blue windows menu where you can decide between debian and windows or does linux just start? If it just starts, you can just delete the windows partition (make sure to check that all important data has been copied to linux or you will loose it!). If unsure which partition it is, it’s the one with ntfs as the file system.

It’s not a blue window, it says Debian and lets me choose between Debian as the first option and windows as like the third one

Good, but as pointed out by another user, you might need to reconfigure grub after deleting the windows partition. Or save your files on an external media and reinstall debian over the entire disk if you don’t want to mess around.

Sounds like you’re using the windows bootloader. You should look into grub (that’s your bootloader in linux), you’ll probably need to reinstall\reconfigure that. Or you save your files on an external media and just reinstall linux over the entire disk. No shame in not wanting to ‘learn linux’.

Be careful expanding the Linux partition, depending on how you’ve set things up, you may need to reinstall the bootloader after doing it. So keep a live USB around in case things don’t boot so you can do that.
