Question about BDE Compatibility and Migration to FireDAC

[shun 0]

Environment:

C++Builder 5.0.12.34
OS: Windows 10 Pro

 

I came across a statement that BDE (Borland Database Engine) is an outdated architecture, and its functionality on currently released Windows OS versions is not guaranteed.

However, I couldn't find specific information on which versions of Windows it was last confirmed to work with.

 

Additionally, as I consider upgrade to the latest version of C++Builder I would like to know if migrating to FireDAC is essential or not.

Could anyone provide clarity on these issues? Also, if you have any resources or references regarding BDE compatibility, I would greatly appreciate it.
