Trying to upgrade to Monterey
Hello,
I've been trying to upgrade my MacBook Pro from Mojave to Monterey. I got an error message stating that my (aftermarket) internal SSD can't be upgraded due to a firmware issue. The 'net suggested I buy an Apple SSDD and install it.
I did so.
The Apple SSD will only recognize and allow Yosemite to be installed - it won't recognize anything else, and the apps working weirdly - I can't even boot up from an external HD, the system is requiring a password that I can't know...
Can the Apple SSD be saved & made to work? Reformat somehow? The MacBook works perfectly with the aftermarket SSD in it... Any advice greatly appreciated - what a pain this is...

Dan,
This MacBook is the only computer I have capable of running OS Monterey. I've reformatted the Apple SSD twice, the only options I'm offered is variations of 'OS Extended Journaled'. The SSD is somehow limiting this MacBook to Yosemite when it is installed. I went ahead and ordered an 'enclosure' that will allow me to work with the SSD without having to install the thing in the laptop. The SSD looks correct to me:
Thanks for your response!
Mike
