When I boot up Debian it takes me to a screen stating :
Debian GNU/Linux 9 Debian tty1
Debian login:
Password:
So I type in the needed credentials however, I’m unsure as to how I can switch to GUI. I have looked it up and have just been talk to press Ctrl+Alt(followed by function keys 1-12) yet it just does not seem work for me.
How can I solve this issue?

you could try the command 'startx' after you log in. But that's probably not your preferred solution. Maybe you can tell us more about how you got here? Was it working before and stopped? Is it a new installation, and if so, how did you install it? What type of computer?

Do you have a desktop environment (KDE, Xfce, Gnome etc.) and a login manager (such s GDM) installed?
