Clarification Request
Which Dell?

And which W7?

Many of today's Dells don't support W7 and well, so many questions. The usual cause is the owner has a W10 laptop and attempted to install W7. It's complicated but I can't tell from your post where that complication is.

If the machine initially came with Windows 7, order the restore media from Dell. Those should work and give you a fully functional machine.

If it doesn't work the way Dell tells you to do it (from the recovery partition or the recovery discs) it could be a hardware issue; contact Dell customer service.
If you don't use the Dell prescribed way, do it the way it should be done.

When installing Windows, remove all connected devices, other than mouse and keyboard.
