Hi MKBKC,
You should be able to create VLANs even if the firmware of your M5300-28G-POE+ switch is on firmware v10.0.0.44. However, it would be best if your M5300-28G-POE+ switch is on the latest firmware version.
If ever you decide to upgrade the firmware, I recommend that you do it in a ladderized manner. First, upgrade the firmware from 10.0.0.44 to v10.0.0.53. Then, upgrade from v10.0.0.53 to v11.0.0.10 and so on until you reach the latest firmware v11.0.0.31. Be reminded to perform a factory reset after upgrading the firmware to the latest version then reconfigure it from scratch in order to start clean using the latest firmware version.

Thank you
