Microsoft on SMB1 support in Windows 11 22H2. "For now, the SMB1 feature 
can still be installed manually by users and system administrators who 
need it, and if you're using SMB1 on a PC that you're upgrading to 
Windows 11, the upgrade won't disable the feature. The next phase of the 
transition will go one step further, completely removing DLL files and 
drivers needed for SMB1 support from the OS"

AFAIK the BDE requires SMB1.
