Like @#Mat said - check the upgrade guide. In your case you need to upgrade to 9.0(2) first. Then to the newer release. I would not recommend 9.10(1) just yet - stick with the latest "Gold Star" release - currently ASA 9.9(3)16.

Also be sure the upgrade your ASDM. In that case the latest is fine - 7.10(1):
