This is a guess, but as you don't appear to have ever updated the macOS since you got the machine, the version of Boot Camp is too old to even know what Windows 10 is.

Update the Mac to current macOS 10.13 & it should update Boot Camp to match.

With any significant change, but especially with such a huge jump in OS, solid, tested backups are essential before you start.
