Well that's not really the official installation media but it is newer than that so should probably work. As an aside, you do not need the Everything media to do an install. The ordinary DVD contains all packages that can be selected by the installer so the Everything DVD is just a waste of 4GB of bandwidth.
This
page says it should work on newer than 7.3. If you switch to terminal 2 in the installer - that has a root command prompt on it - you can try those lspci commands that are in the screenshots on the dell link above. Do you get similar output?
