Cannot get Windows 7 or 10 on NEW Inspiron 3650

New computer, less than 3 weeks old. Reference Dell 3650 Intel i5-6400. I don't know what you need to know? SATA, Bluetooth, wifi, HD 1 TB, Nividia graphics.

They never sent me the system drivers/operation right out the box records when Windows 10 had a few teething problems minor during the first week of use (and me being semi biased against him anyway since I'm generally a Win7 user) I decided to go back to Win 7. I used the Micrsoft tool for USB flash burning and installed Win7 Home Premium. The installation took, but without my factory drivers drive most of my drivers were not installed including my ethernet network card and wifi so I was DOA. Called Dell, they have been great and sent the discs the next day.

I had a few problems with the drivers, they sent me does not install/work and I thought okay although they are 10 for my build windows drivers. I should have stopped, worked on getting good win 7 drivers for my network card got hooked to the net and ran windows update or update my drivers manually from the Web site. I don't have. :( Instead I went to work to put Windows 10 on it and that's where the problems started...

Errors... tons of them...

Disk locked

Missing partition

No bootable device... Changed to a legacy secure boot disabled startup. Not much better and no luck. Ran chkdsk that everything works well, so this seems to be the software problem.

Then, I found that it had deleted my recovery disk that I didn't see what he listed more... The disc only I see is my 1 TB almost hard drive now, is that correct? I let fall to win allows 10 and thought ok try again 7 since it worked once. From what I can tell there is no operating system on this subject either right now. I decided to do a clean install of windows 7 and I formatted my drive C to NTFS. I changed the boot order so it could start on my USB which is where I got the image... and the windows 7 files started to load. Now I get:

CD/DVD device driver when installing win7 error. Nothing I try works. I tried many fixes posted on the net for this mistake, passage to usb 2.0 and others and nothing works. I tried to put my INtel drivers on a flash drive, but it does not recognize. I'm stuck. What should do?

I am novice to intermediate when it comes to all of this.  Years, I scoured the forums looking for answers and I've always been able to solve my problems of software, this is the first time I actually posted a question.  I don't know where to go from here. If only I could get an OS on it I feel like I could get this computer up and running, download the drivers installed etc... Is it possible to install drivers without operating system? Is there a work-around that works for me for this constant cd/dvd driver error during the installation of windows 7?

Help... Laughing out loud... Had 3 days ago. The computer works fine apart from that, and I didn't have to ship in return. I have at this point, he can't return to the store by their return policy, but it is under warranty from Dell. It's my fault for trying to go down and update without driver disks. What should do?

You need to F6 and Secure boot OFF, ON Legacy CSM drivers.

And you can not delete a Windows 10 partition with windows disk 7.
