Can we run SharePoint 2016 sites in SharePoint 2010 mode?? I can see Hive 14 in SharePoint 2016 installation, but while creating a site collection that option is not coming? Please help
Hi,
Based upon your description, its not possible to upgrade directly from SP2010 to SP2016. You need to be double hop. That being said, you need to firstly upgrade your SP2010 towards 2013. Thereafter you can upgrade to SP2016 .
Further, I will suggest you to follow DB attached upgrade process.
In case you wish to proceed for direct migration without having double hop, you can take help using Lepide SharePoint migration tool which should be an ideal solution to work around your situation.
