The device generally needs formatting with the fat32 driver, and usually just the rear USB connections are acknowledged for updating.

It shares the same connection point as a USB flash drive.

It seems to be a USB drive rather than Thunderbolt. That should work, but you'll need to format it before use.

In the bitwit video, there was no need to format his drive. It seems this is now standard practice.

His motivation might have been pre-installed with a specific drive type. Check the guidelines for updating your motherboard's BIOS—it usually indicates the required format.

It's mainly because you're using a version of Windows that doesn't support newer file systems.
