Install Windows 7 as normal and use the legacy drivers provided by the Windows 7 install disc. Once you are up and running you will be able to find which drivers are missing and if the laptop is connected to the internet Windows can do the rest using update driver option.

the Dell website (no easy to navigate sometimes) will have the drivers to download anyway
