This is a Braswell system -- you do need to prepare a custom Windows 7 install media set. See below (though it looks like WIndows 7 is completely unsupported by Dell on this model -- there's no image listed for it).
Thanks for the response and the link... it was useful. I had previously created custom install media and added the USB 3.0 drivers to boot.wim, setup.wim, and install.wim, but apparently something was still amiss. So, I went back and started from scratch, rebuilt the various wim files and I also incorporated the Win7 rollup pkgs from Microsoft along with the Win7 drivers for the Dell 3162. Once completed, the new bootable USB worked perfectly. Win7Pro is installed and working fine with full touch-screen capability.
