>it's really true that BDE needs SMB1?

I am not sure that is 100% true. I have checked two of my WIN10 machines,
one was a fresh WIN10 install, one was an upgrade over the years.

Both have Paradox 10 and both have SMB 1.0 NOT enabled. Bot function fine
and access windows local shared folders. Neither of these have true separate
device network shares, but do share folders locally and access them via share
name / mapped drive.

It seems in many cases you can re-enable it on many machines if disabled
by WIN10 upgrade, but it is unclear is WIN10 upgrade always disables it or
if WIN11 will. I found no one saying either scenario was where it was removed.
On some machines people report it is not there and they added it back with
no issues (for other reasons than Paradox).

I have no setup that uses a file servers or Linux or NAS to test one for
this, maybe someone can?
I do support one Paradox system that uses Paradox 9 and uses WIN10 / WIN11
mixed PCs and access a NFS server share with no issues, not sure of the state
of SMB on them yet.

I also cannot find anything that tells us the BDE requires SMB 1.0 to run.
It may require it for certain file access? But for functionality or SQL access
– seems not.

You can disable SMB 1.0 in Windows Features and test yourself.

Maybe many systems may just use NFS or local hard drive folders and SMB does
not come into play?

I think Mark Bannister has some posts about this.
