Q: Installing Win10 on MacbookAir

Hi, I am trying to install Win10 on my MacbookAir (Core i5, 120GB, Yosemite). In the bootcamp, the 3rd checkbox to install Win 7 is not enabled. I am getting message that HD can't be partitioned until I have 28GB free, despite I have 50GB free. Any idea what the issue could be? Thanks!

MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5), HDD 120GB, RAM 4MB
