Latitude E6410 BIOS

I purchased a used Latitude E6410 which is running Windows 10 Pro on a legacy boot, because I couldn't get the computer to install Windows 10 Pro using UEFI.  The BIOS is showing version X35, which doesn't appear to be the right BIOS for this computer (A16 being the most recent BIOS in Dell Support).  Should I try to flash the BIOS to A16?  Obviously, the last thing I want to do is turn a working computer into a dead brick.


Thanks in advance.

    Ok.  I can downgrade Windows.  What should I do about the X35 BIOS?

    Thanks for getting back so quickly.  According to Dell Support, the computer was originally shipped with Windows 7 Pro.  It has been upgraded to Windows 10 Pro and is running fine with the X35 BIOS.  I know you wanted me to go back to Windows 7, but I hate to downgrade the operating system, since it is working fine and, at some point, Microsoft is going to stop supporting Windows 7.  Can I just update the BIOS to A16, which is the most current BIOS, or will I run into problems either updating the BIOS or running Windows 10 with the A16 BIOS?
