Hmm...

Not quite sure what you want to do there but I'm sure you'll elaborate.

10.0.0.0/8 is a "Class A" subnet with a total of 2^24 (approx 16.7M) IP
addresses. 192.168.0.0/16 is a "Class B" subnet with only 2^16 (65536) IP
addresses.

Both are private subnets which aren't routeable outside your LAN. One just
allows for more machines than the other. Other than that they both serve the
same purpose.
