Nope not possible, if you update you will be forced to iOS 10.

 

You can Jailbreak some versions of iOS 10 but not the latest, you can Sideload cracked apps on to iOS 10 without a jailbreak so you might want to look in to it a bit more.

 

Or

 

Check out iOS 6 as you will be able to jailbreak it.

 

Think you will need : Absinth to jailbreak iOS 6

I dont think so

No it isn't plus I wouldn't upgrading/restoring on the latest iOS cause the iPhone 5 would run like trash on iOS 10 and even iOS 9 so stay on iOS 6

My son has a iPhone 5C 16g running iOS 10, no issues runs fine.

 

Apple optimise iOS's for each device.

Yes but it would run 1000% smoother on iOS 6 plus there is an untethered jailbreak on iOS 6 and there may not be another jailbreak for 32bit devices on iOS 10

Look i have no idea what you are on about , JB or no JB, Apple optimise each iOS for each device, iOS 10 run's "1000%" fine on the iPhone 5C, its optimised to do so.

The reason jailbreaks are not released for 32bits anymore is because they aren't stable enough, and even if you aren't worried about this they still wil not run as smoothly as 64bit devices

This is irrelevant to the topic, I don't know where you get that 32bit devices are unstable, 32bit devices did the job perfectly long before 64bit devices, there are jailbreaks for 32bit devices and they are very stable more stable than the current.

 

It's obvious a 64bit runs better than a 32bit but if you do not own a 64bit you will not know it runs smoother because you have a 32bit and its running fine.

I have used a 32 bit on iOS 7-10 and I have seen how 'optimised' it is and I also hav had a 64 bit from iOS 8-10
