Dell Inspiron 15 3521 cracked LCD touchscreen

Question

Hi, I have Dell Inspiron 15 3521 which is touchscreen model. I have heard that there are non-touch screen models as well. My screen has cracked after someone tripped over on the screen and now left part of the screen has fuzzy pictures. I want to replace the screen and I have seen lcd screen online but they are non-touch screen. My question is will this non-touch lcd screen fits my laptop? I don't care about losing touch functionality as long as it displays picture and fits properly.  I am happy to buy lcd screen with touch functionality but I can't find any online. Can someone help me find screen with touch functionality. If not, I am happy to buy non-touch as long as it works properly without touch functionality.  Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply. I would definitely look into that. Will this work if I buy this non-touch lcd screen?  https://www.laptopscreen.com/English/model/Dell/35T9M/

On most systems, to change from touch- to non-touch, you will need to replace the entire top half of the system - screen, back cover, hinges, cable, etc. -- not just the panel itself.

Ok so then it's not possible by buying that non-touch lcd screen and put it inside the original casing.

The bezel, back cover and hinges are all different between the touch- and non-touch models.
