as I mentioned in the title, I'm trying to install Windows 10 on my DELL Inspirion 14 which only has a 32Gb eMMC (no HDD). I have been reading a lot of articles saying that I should run rufus with this specs. I did, but now I'm getting this black screen with this colored dots when I boot from my USB. Please help, I have been looking for a solution for this problem for more than a week now, I'm desperate

I've seen this before, so I'm pretty sure you are getting an improper display of this screen.
You need to follow the advice from the Rufus FAQ and either recreate your media for BIOS boot or edit your UEFI settings to disable CSM/Legacy boot.
As to why your computer/display can't properly show a standard BIOS/Legacy screen, you'll have to ask your manufacturer...
3Maybe you shouldn't have made your usb flash bootable via GPT.
On windows 10, right click on start menu at the bottom left corner of the screen (or press Win + X buttons on your keyboard together), then open Disk Management (if for any reason you can't right click on your start menu or the win + x combination doesn't work, just open Run, which you can search for through the start menu or just press Win + R together, and then type disk.mgmt.msc , it'll open Disk Management window right away). At the bottom of the Disk Management window, you might see different disks named Disk 0 , Disk 1, ... . Right click on the disk on which your system is installed (you should see the drive on which your system is installed; as for me, my system is installed on drive C, and drive C is shown in front of Disk 0. So I right click on "Disk 0") , and then go to Properties. In the window opened above, go to the Volumes tab and check what's written next to Partition Style (it's either GPT or MBR) . If it's MBR, it means you should make your usb flash bootable via MBR and not GPT (as for me, I use Rufus to make my usb flash bootable, and there you can easily choose between GPT/UEFI or MBR/BIOS. Here in Rufus, you've got to set it to MBR , and the other one will automatically be set to BIOS, and then click on Start to start making your usb flash bootable.)
Hope this works!
And by the way, you can download Rufus from here:
