I just wanted to add this here if anyone saw issues while installing Windows 10 on their Dell and save them some time if they were going to do it in the future:
Windows 10 install with NVMe SSD and SATA drives | Dell US

After a lot of troubleshooting, new media tool/usb I found the issue to be specific to some Dell computers and on Dell's website explaining how to fix it.

another good reason not to use dell media, always use the MS media creation tool.

I did use MS media creation tool. Dell is saying if you were to use dell's media installer it was fixed to work but if you are using MS media creation tool then you need to follow those steps to fix it.
