I have a Dell inspiron 5720 laptop on which DW1704 is installed, when Ubuntu was installed everything worked by default, and now I can’t find drivers on Debian (I don’t want to adapt if I still have relatives) who knows where I can dig them out?

Here you can find it: yandex.ru/yandsearch?text=debian%20nonfree%20iso&f...
In short, Debian advocates DFSG software, and the firmware loaded into devices at system startup is, in principle, not DFSG. So among the official images of these can not be found. But there are almost equally official "unofficial" images that quite well contain the main closed firmware.
You can also search like this:
aptitude install firmware|less
and read what it will give out.
