Inspiron One 2320, Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, Installation Order [Issues]
After installing Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (Replacing Windows 7 Home Premium). Using the Installation Order tab, I completed the first category.
The LAN is working. The WLAN is not working.
Suggestions? Comments?

I'm guessing you searched for drivers using your Service Tag which -unfortunately- frequently misses some essential drivers.
Since your jpg shows SM Bus Controller is flagged, it appears you didn't install the 2 Intel chipset drivers for Win 7 or Ethernet, WLAN and card reader drivers:
The 2 Intel drivers should have been installed as the very first 2 drivers after loading Win 7. Without the 2 chipsets, other drivers may not install or may not work
Install the 2 Intel drivers in order listed above and reboot. Then install the other 3 and reboot again. Some / all of the last 3 may ask you to reboot to complete installation, so do that before moving on to the next driver.
See if that fixes things.

SMBUS controller means CHIPSET drivers are not installed. PCI devices on the bus do not enumerate properly when CHIPSET drivers are missing.

Alright, that being said, and considering the updated attachment, how would you suggest I fix something that is not reporting an error?

Glad the chipsets solved the problem.
I don't understand fixing "...something that is not reporting an error".
What device and exactly what's the issue?
EDIT: Had you previously install the Realtek Ethernet driver? If you're using one that Win 7 installed it may work, but it may not be optimized for your actual Ethernet hardware.
