Microsoft is blocking systems with popular Western Digital (Sandisk) solid-state drives from receiving the Windows 11 version 24H2 update and has not advised users to download and install new firmware that has been available for months, reports Neowin. The issue is not officially acknowledged on Microsoft's update health documentation.
The drive in question is a rather popular WD Black SN770, one of the best SSDs on the market. Users with such drives inside their PCs encounter an alert during the Windows 11 24H2 upgrade attempt, saying that their system has hardware that is not ready for this version of Windows and that the update will be offered once the problem is resolved. No further guidance is provided, leaving affected users unable to proceed through regular channels.
