Thanks for the thread, @HULAGIRL! I didn't see this one... I'll add this info here, too.
Please, everyone, be sure to make a complete backup of your device before you install any updates.
I usually install a new version as soon as it's available... but unless there are major security issues there's no reason you have to do so. This one does have a lot of new features.
It only took me about 14 minutes for the complete update -- but I didn't try to do it over WiFi. If you have a computer, and launch iTunes there, and connect the device to the computer, the update will usually go much faster for you.
The iOS 10 update is available for:

It shouldn't be taking that long. Do you have a computer, with iTunes installed, that you could use to update that way?

Nope.......it's ok, I'm in no hurry. The screen on my phone will give a llittle black screen flash every once in a while, so I know something is still happening. I'm still a pc user, but my next laptop will be a Mac......

You can install iTunes on a Windows-based computer, also, and do the very same kind of direct update we perform with a Mac (for future reference). Hope the process finishes soon for you! I admire your patience!

The itunes thing? You're downloading it through your computer on itunes? I haven't updated that way in years. It's possible it's taking so long because it's updating all the old apps and stuff at the same time that may not have been updated. I don't know, I haven't actually hooked my iphone up to my computer to sync with iphone in ages. @HULAGIRL
