Product: Pavilion P6-2180ea
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
I have been offered a Geforce GTX1060, but I dont know if I will be able to use it in my old PC.
Is it possible, & if so, are the settings in the BIOS going to need changing?

The GTX 1060 has drivers available for these operating systems only.
But as far as hardware, most if not all video cards auto-adjust to its environment. (The card may be PCIe 3.0, but if put into a 1.0 slot, it'll still work, just slower.)
