You can download Windows onto the external hard drive you already have. Once installed, you’ll be able to use it during the installation process.

However, I was thinking about changing the HDD to a CD port using Caddy, then inserting the SSD into the HDD slot. Will that work? And would you mind finding any YouTube tutorials that demonstrate the process? This is your first time, so I appreciate the help!

Avoid modifying your laptop if it's covered by warranty. I advise against altering internal components since previous issues have been problematic. Consider swapping the HDD for an SSD and performing a fresh installation.

You only have a 250GB SSD, which isn’t enough. You also need an additional 1TB HDD.

It includes a CD drive, but warranty coverage varies by device. Each laptop is unique, so verify your specific model.

It'll be tough to handle everything, so consider getting a USB drive (just remember, a Windows ISO might require more than 8GB now—opt for a 16GB one). This is quicker and cheaper.

I have a Dell laptop, but I'm not sure which specific model it is. I'm considering taking it to a repair center or doing it myself since they often charge more than needed. I'm planning to handle it myself.

If he's aiming for 64-bit, that's sufficient. It also reduces the risk.
