How To Upgrade My Brother Bes-1216ac

I recently bought a borther industrial embroidery machine from someone who closed their business. I have a business myself but, I am having a hard time getting the machine to communicate with my computer. One, I would like to update it from a floppy to a usb system. Two, the files are being created in a Windows 10 environment and even by using the floppy disks, the machine is not recognizing the files. Any suggestions on how to upgrade and on how to make the files work?
