Then do it.

What's your problem?

My Thinkpad still runs Windows 8.1 and to be honest, I'm very satisfied with it. Going to Win10 will make older CPUs feel slower. Win10 also likes to thrash storage a lot due to aggressive caching algorithms. If there is nothing really important that needs Win10, I would suggest to enjoy Windows 8.1.

There are several versions of the P37/W/X, with different BIOS: FAxx, FBxx, FCxx, FDxx. It would seem your model uses the FBxx family BIOS, but that is only a guess. Can you give the full specs of the machine, model and/or part #? Is there an update feature within the UEFI/BIOS and have you tried using it?
