I did open up the laptop and tried to reseat the NVME SSD which was installed, just to rule that out as a possible issue.
Upon doing a little more research, it seems that the issue may be that the Dell system changing itself from UEFI to Legacy boot (this appears to be a somewhat common issue).
I am not certain that explains the blue screens leading up to the current issue I am facing, but either way, I can't even verify if it's in Legacy or UEFI boot since the password prevents me to viewing it's current configuration, so my previous post and the help I am asking for still stands.
Thank you
Edit: While making this post (should have waited another few minutes) I was able to get into Windows installation through a USB boot drive, and the NVME drive is showing up, so I am not convinced entirely that it's dead all together. I am reluctant to immediately try reinstalling windows on it, in case the issue is the boot mode needing to be changed from Legacy, and I could avoid formatting the drive - which wouldn't be the end of the world if I had to. If I were to format the drive and install windows fresh on it, I am assuming that if the BIOS is set to Legacy, I would still be stuck in the same spot I am now anyway.
