I have an old Surface Pro 3 that I have been trying to install debian buster net-install on, but to no prevail.

EDIT: and I think you need to use "DD" mode [sic] in Rufus, try that.

Use one of the unofficial ISO images that already contain the non-free firmware.

Not tried it myself but I think you can supply the firmware on a separate device: https://www.debian.org/releases/buster/ ... 04.en.html

PS : still waiting for the detailed error message in the installer log.

If they do not work (they should), try the normal (text, non-graphical) install in the installer boot menu. Or select expert install and in the main menu you can select "run a shell" and examine /var/log/syslog.
