Yes it can read 3.x index files without extra configuaration. You cannot enforce that, it is automatically.
Unfortunately, Lucene 4.10 has some problems, which will be fixed with a bugfix release soon. Those bugs can lead to index corruption. Maybe try 4.9.1 first. Are you sure the 3.x index is ok?
