Monterey compatibility with non-Apple internal SSD My 2015 MacBook Pro with an internal 1 TB Samsung SSD won't upgrade to Monterey OS. This is first time I've ever had an issue upgrading operating systems on my computer. Will later versions of Monterey address this?

That firmware version is not listed in:

https://blog.greggant.com/posts/2019/05/07/the-definitive-mac-pro-2013-trashcan-guide.html#tfirmware

But it is higher than the version (10.14.4: 130.0.0.0.0 - removes requirement for Apple SSDs to perform firmware upgrade) the article says removed the requirement for an Apple SSD to update firmware.

However, the recollection that I have does not confirm that 130.0.0.00 removed the Apple SSD requirement. I can't find my previous discussion where I laid this out.

Try installing Monterey on an external disk and see if is successful.
