Dell Inspiron 15 (3521) Touch Screen Replacement Help

This past Christmas, I received a Dell Inspiron 15 3521 Touch Screen. Just recently, I removed it from its laptop case to find that the screen had cracked. It wasn't an external screen crack. If you run your fingers over the screen, it's smooth, but there are visible cracks and a section of the screen that isn't showing the desktop, but only an odd mesh of white and black with a bit of other colors included in the section. I looked up screen replacements and I found a detailed description on YouTube of how to replace the screen in the Dell Inspiron 15 3521. It had a link in the description to replacement parts. That would solve my problem, but I just have one issue: My laptop is a touch screen and I'm not certain if the replacement screen is a touch screen. I want to be able to use my laptop to the fullest. If it includes touch ability, I want a touch replacement screen. I'll post a link to the website with the replacement parts. Please reply and tell me if it is touch or not. If not, please leave a link to a touch-screen-replacement-screen. Please help me on this. I'm the kind of person that will lose sleep if I can't be sure.

Those are not touch screens - they are standard LCD panels.

To change the panel, you need to replace both the touch glass and LCD as a unit:

Thank you very much for the link and information. Also, could you send me any links to other websites I can order the replacement touch screen for my inspiron 15 3521 from? PCHub is out of stock and has no information that I can find about when they will restock. I also can't seem to find the part through my own search efforts.
