Switch firmware update advice

Hi,
 
We have inherited two "HP 2920-24G-PoE+ Switch(J9727A) switches". They are both currently running "WB.15.11.0007, ROM WB.15.04". 
 
Am I ok to upgrade to the very latest firmware (WB.16.10.0010) or do I need to perform incremental updates? If so what path do I need to follow?
 
I've taken a look at the release notes and nothing obvious stands out to me.
 
Many thanks.

Hi,

You have to do incremental upgrade. Boot ROM is very old.

I will check and share the upgrade path.

Thanks!

Hi,

Sorry for delay, since device bootrom is old so you need to follow upgrade path.

WB.15.11.0007 --> WB.16.01.0004 --> WB.16.10.0010

This path I have tested in LAB.

Thanks
