Truthfully just am not an experienced enough user to understand all the potential risks of having it enabled although I'm figuring out now that pretty much every distro I've used until now had root by using sudo.

@bloodfart I figured out what it was thanks to all of you! It was just that I had to change from RAID to ACHI in the bios! Since I didn't want to keep windows I didn't even have to open a command prompt or anything.
Man I love this whole community I can't thank all of you enough.
Dude @minibyte@sh . it just . works This was it!! Thanks to all of you
@Johnny5 This was it! Changed to ACHI and no problems after that thank you so much!!
It wasn't that it was that the windows partition wasn't showing up at all. In this case (DellOptiplex 3070) I had to change from RAID to ACHI and it showed up
I thought it was that it "can't" melt steel beams
It is a dell its an Optiplex 3070 mini. You just boot windows into safe mode to change that right?
Honestly I may just keep doing the Debian install now that I have some insight on what might have gone wrong.
Its true really trying to break through the learning curve at the moment hands on but yes I think you might be right.
No I made the USB boot first before windows its the Debian 12 graphical installer
Actually upon looking it up, there is some suggestion that it is fake.
This worked thank you so much!
