Any ideas ???

Laptop is a Dell Precision i7 with plenty of hard drive space and Ram.

Thanks.
Are you booting from the disk to install Windows 10, or are you running the installer from within Windows 7? If it's the latter then it won't work, Enterprise editions of Windows can't be converted to Home/Pro, even if you're upgrading. You'll need to boot from the disc (or make a bootable USB) and do a fresh format/install
