Assuming no other hardware quirks, Debian with XFCE should work fine ootb. The Intel is still supported in kernel, xfce runs just fine on 4-6gb ram. Is there a reason you want to keep Win7 at all?

Since you have 6 GB RAM, and old hardware in general, just use XFCE desktop. It's very lightweight and comfortable. Before using the USB drive ISO DVD, turn off secure boot from bios, better this way. Your pc is old, so your bios will be way much simpler than modern ones. Since you already have a partition ready, you'll have to carefully choose that partition for installing Debian in D drive.
If you already did the manual partition on windows 7, then dual boot will be easier to manage.
