It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

Short Answer

You don't.

Long Answer

These two plugins are fundamentally different. Popular Posts stores views in a custom field with each post. Top 10 creates a new table in the database and stores views there.

So you'll need to look for the wp_top-ten table in your database. It should have these fields:

  • postnumber
  • cntaccess

postnumber is the ID of your post and cntaccess is the number of views it has. You can move this into the pvc_views custom field for the post to migrate the data.

You'll likely need to script this in SQL; that's an exercise I leave to you. In reality, you'd be better served just switching to the new plugin and starting your counter from scratch.
