Clean install, clone, image, what manner of installation did you use?

Clean Install

drivers?

Shouldn't windows 10 come with the basic drivers already installed in it?

Even without drivers, shouldn't I atleast see the dell logo and the option to enter bios? If not, how can I install them without display?

Welcome to the Dell Community @jakelong00 

At this point drivers have nothing to do with your problem.

You are correct "Even without drivers" it should post to the splash screen.

Hold down the "D" key, push the power button, release the power button, wait 2-3 seconds and release the "D" key

The laptop should go through an LCD test of solid White, Red, Green, Blue and Black 2 or 3 times.

After completion it should try to automatically boot 2 or 3 times.

Post any results.

I tried to do the LCD Test. Out of probably 10-15 tries, I was only able to see the colours 2 time successfully.

I also tried to do the epsa diagnostic test (fn key+power key) and saw the same thing happening - out of probably 10-15 times I was only able to enter the test once. Rest of the time screen did not lit up. The result of the test was successful for all parts.

I was only able to enter the lcd and epsa tests with the old hdd installed. I couldn't get into the tests even once with the new SSD.

Have you tried that SSD in another laptop???

Do you have an external enclosure you can install the SSD in and then test???

Do do you have another HDD/SSD you can install in the laptop??? "Just to Test"

Have you tried that SSD in another laptop??? - No. I neither have any other system nor do I have a sata to USB cable to test this

Do you have an external enclosure you can install the SSD in and then test??? - What is an external enclosure?  I used the bracket which had the original hdd for the new one?

Do do you have another HDD/SSD you can install in the laptop??? "Just to Test" - Unfortunately no
