Some notes on (temporarily) using CIFS/SMBv1 with Windows 10
Posted by jpluimers on 2022/06/13
Warning: only do this in a well confined network because of the SMBv1 has serious security implications!
Temporarily allowing SMBv1 makes it easier to transfer files from/to ancient Windows XP (virtual) machines.
Sometimes you need those to support hardware for which more modern drivers or support do not exist.

Thanks for the replies. NicCrockett- You are correct in saying that the system is a legacy piece of hardware that controls a specialized machinery that isn’t easily upgradeable. I found what the issue was. Earlier when I had check if SMB was enabled via a Powershell command it confirmed that the client side of SMB v1 was enabled. What I failed to realize at the time was that the server side of SMB was not enabled. Once I enabled SMBv1.(Server-side) via Windows features, everything worked fine.
