- CSP agreements are 1-year terms.
- Windows Enterprise E3 subscriptions through CSP do require each device to first be running Windows 10 Pro.
- However, Windows Enterprise E3 subscriptions through CSP include a free upgrade entitlement from Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro. So, you can use that upgrade benefit and from there activate Windows 10 Enterprise on top of Windows 10 Pro.
On a side note, thanks for asking this question! I know you aren't the only one who wonders about this and it's great to have clarification.

Darren Rose - is there any website or documentation re the "free upgrade entitlement from Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro", as can't find anything to prove this point on MS website?
