QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert MDE to ACCDE?
Yes - MDE converts to ACCDE.

The modern equivalent path: open the source .mdb in Access, save up to .accdb, then File > Save As > 'Make ACCDE'. You don't convert the .mde itself - you rebuild from the original .mdb. (db lists mde->accde with software_count 2; only valid via the source database.)
