Cannot edit 3D model when opened in SolidWorks

I am looking to edit a 3D model that I have downloaded. When I open the file it asks do I want to carry out Feature recognition, which I do.

 

I then get an error that there are "3 potential problems found in surfaces of imported solid". I cannot seem to find any more information on this or how to resolve the issue.

 

Am I opening the file incorrectly, or should I convert it to some other file format first? 

 

I have attached the error message but cannot attach the file as the file IP is owned by my company.
