You can upgrade directly to Windows 10 without losing data. Just back up your files on an SD card and prepare a bootable USB drive for installation.

I attempted to put Windows 10 on an iMac that was using Vista. The best option seems to be starting with Windows 7 and then upgrading to 10. Since the Vista setup might have failed, it would be wise to back up your data and perform a fresh installation of Windows 10.

For outdated hardware, Windows 8.1 offers the most suitable experience.

You might consider starting with version 7 and then moving to 10, but each step raises the risk of issues, so a fresh installation would be safer.
