1) you may try backports, may be your software already backported and
available on debian 10. If software backported - quick and easy way.

2) you may backport software by self (get sources, sometimes fix
debian/* in sources dir, build package) -- my preffered way to take
new software before debian testing not frozen.

3) you may set repos from debian 11 and install software AND
dependencies - your debian will be partially upgraded and some another
soft may be broken. Don't recommend this way, system may be broken and
need reinstall in worst case.

4) you may upgrade to debian 11. If you does not see your software in
backports and can't build package - use this way.
