When you're running Rufus, make sure you select the GPT partition scheme.

People over on the Dell forum are suggesting this:

Have you attempted to convert the SSD to GPT during the Windows 10 installation process? If that fails, hit Shift + F10, type diskpart, disk list, sel disk x, clean (this wipes everything), and then convert gpt. Exit the command prompt and see if the Windows installation proceeds on the SSD.

Honestly, I ran into the exact same issue. I handled it by plugging the SSD into an external enclosure, formatting it directly through Windows, and then everything worked perfectly.
If you have the gear on hand, it’s a zero-cost fix.

Otherwise, take a look at this:

Head into your BIOS and look under the Boot options to find Secure Boot.
If it's currently ENABLED, just switch it to disabled. You'll be able to install Windows without any further headaches.

As you mentioned yourself, it tells you "everything is going smoothly, installing the system to the disk—and then it just stops"—followed by "press any key for..."

Once that part is finished, pull out your installation media (whether it's a DVD or a USB drive) and the setup will wrap up.
Go into your BIOS and set your laptop to boot from the hard drive, because clearly, some other First boot device is currently taking priority.

Whoever told you a Windows reinstallation was the answer clearly hasn't a clue what they're doing. Forget them.

Run it and wipe out everything it finds.
Once you've rebooted, grab this:

Select CCleaner - Portable
Unpack it and clear out all the junk from your system...
One more restart and everything should run perfectly.

Here is that Chrome extension I mentioned. It lets you download whatever videos you want directly from YouTube without any hassle.
Check out the "How to install" section, get it set up, and then download as much as you please.

To grab the extension, just hit the "Chrome mode install" button.
The video covers the entire installation process step-by-step.

Integrated graphics or what?
If it's on the PCI bus, you're going to be hunting for drivers.

Take a look at this.

P.S.
I’m not trying to sell you anything.🙂

Grab both phones along with their warranty papers, pull up the receipt that clearly shows the purchase date and the exact number of units you bought, and head straight to the store.
That’s my first move.
Let them sort out their own mess while you demand either a full refund or brand-new replacements with legitimate paperwork.
If they try to get cute or start making excuses, just mention you're filing a complaint with Consumer Reports and call it a day.

When did you buy them?

Go ahead and right-click that exe file, then select Run as Administrator to start the installation.

Once you've finished reinstalling Windows 7, you really ought to get .NET Framework 4, DirectX 9, and my personal recommendation, Adobe, installed right away.
Also, if you actually bothered to mention which program you're talking about, people might actually give you an answer.

If you're staring at that annoying "insufficient memory or disk space" error when trying to load fonts in Microsoft Word, don't panic. It’s actually a pretty straightforward fix.

First, type %appdata% into the Windows search panel and hit enter. Once that %appdata% folder opens, navigate through the Microsoft folder and find the Templates folder. Inside, locate the "Normal" file, right-click it, and rename it to "old." Finally, restart Your computer to apply The changes to open Your MS Office Word without Any problems !

(The specific path for the "Normal" file is C:\ Users\User's name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\Normal.dotm).

Everything you need is laid out right here.

Head into your BIOS and locate the Secure Boot settings; you'll need to set that to Disable.
Once that's done, make sure you enable USB Legacy support.
Next, navigate over to the Boot menu and configure the system to prioritize booting from your USB Drive.
Hit F10 to save your changes, and the computer will restart.

Before you even touch those settings, use Rufus to create a bootable USB drive containing the OS installation you intend to use.

EDIT😛Since you attempted this using an external CD/DVD drive, enabling USB Legacy support is non-negotiable.

Grab this

Just pick the right OS from the dropdown menu at the bottom.

neonheron9, when that error pops up, just hit Cancel. Pull the USB drive out, plug it into a different USB port, and try the installation again.

Do you have SP3 installed?
If not, get that done first. Once that's settled, you'll need to run this too:

Run the file and give it permission to modify the registry.
Once that’s done, just right-click the drive and select BlackRock.

Head into your BIOS and hunt down the SATA mode settings. You’ll want to switch the native control to either disabled or set to compatibility mode.
Once you've done that, try booting from your disc again. The installation should go through without any issues.

Pull the battery out and unplug the power adapter.
Hold down the power button for a full 20 seconds.
Plug the adapter back in and try booting the laptop without the battery installed.
