Thank you @cilefen - I was able to use composer and utilized the Upgrade Status module. After a lot of uninstalling and troubleshoot my Upgrade status is now at 100%, but when I try to install drupal10 using composer I get a new error:

Problem 1
- Root composer.json requires drupal/core-recommended 10.0.9 -> satisfiable by drupal/core-recommended[10.0.9].
- drupal/core-recommended 10.0.9 requires psr/log ~3.0.0 -> found psr/log[3.0.0] but these were not loaded, likely because it conflicts with another require.

I guess I will close this out and search for new answers. :|

My json file is:
