Hello @chetan
Hope you doing well.

Upgrading from Drupal 6 to 10 involves multiple steps.
Drupal 6 to 10 upgrade is not possible directly.

Below is a general outline of the upgrade process

1. Backup your site first
2. Upgrade to Drupal 7
The first step is to upgrade your site to Drupal 7.
Steps:
1. Check all the modules and disable the modules which are not compatible
with Drupal 7.
2. Upgrade the site to the Drupal 6 latest version
3. Set the site to offline mode
4. Enable the “Migrate Drupal UI” core module if upgrading using the browser user interface
Ensure access to the Drupal 6 or 7 database from the host of the new Drupal site
Upgrade
5. Download Drupal 7 from drupal.org
6. Follow the instructions in the included UPGRADE.txt
7. Upgrade the codebase
8. Run the Drupal 7 standard upgrade
3. Once the site is upgraded to Drupal’s latest version now you can start the migration from Drupal 7 to 10.
One thing to consider here is that Drupal 7 to Drupal 10 does not support the migration of the views as per my knowledge.
There are some modules available but they are not fully compatible.

Steps to Upgrade from Drupal 7 to Drupal 10

  1. Backup your site first
  2. Review your current site and make a list of all the content, features, and functionality.
  3. Check Modules Availability
  4. Create Your Drupal 10 Website
  5. Update Your Code of custom modules because it is completely a different architecture.
  6. Migrate Your Data with the help of Drush you can use Admin UI
    you need to install the following modules before migrating:
    1. Drupal Upgrade
    2. Migrate
    3. Migrate Drupal
    4. Migrate Drupal UI
    5. Migrate Tools

Above is the basic workflow If you need some details explanation you can check out here:
