[Help} W: Target Sources is configured multiple times in etc/apt/sources

So recently I got a new handed down laptop (Dell Latitude E6430) as my old one was not cutting it for what i needed. I took my old HDD with debian 10 buster out of my other laptop and placed it into this one.

My wifi wasn't working and i was about to reformat and try over when i noticed it said I needed a non-free firmware b43/ucode_mimo.fw

So after a bit of googling, I added nonfree sources
that it said i needed and ran

Code:sudo apt updateUpon completion I was met with:

W: Target Contents-deb (main/Contents-all) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:1 and /etc/apt/sources.list:10I get that its saying there are duplicates but are "Main" and "nonfree" main the same?
and if so, why are they even differentiated between if that makes sense?

Once I added these non free I was able to get what i needed which was:
Code:sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer

My sources:

Code:deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian buster main

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ buster/updates main
