Hello Srikanth. I think you are barking up the wrong tree here. What you need is a person who is experienced in win10 internals not Freebsd. Even though ipfw is maintained by the freebsd ipfw project does not mean freebsd had anything to do with making it able to run on win7. A win programmer took the open source ipfw code and made changes to it so it would run on win7. You need to contact that win7 programmer who did that work and ask him it he is interested in upgrading his work for win10. Some suggestions. 1. Submit a format proposal to the FreeBSD foundation to fund a project to perform the desired work. This option is going to take some time. Maybe up to a year. 2. Change your focuses from Freebsd to Microsoft. There are win10 development forums where you can ask for help and advice. Maybe you can find the support you want there. Good Luck
