I've done exactly that with an ancient Huret shifter, 9-speed was alright but a bit grindy, didn't particularly enjoy 10-speed - lots of jumping. But my chain really really needs replacing so that is probably a factor in poor performance. this is the same bike I switched to 8-speed on that I mentioned earlier
^ you can probably get a 7/8 speed friction working up to 10 speed
