My Passport shown as "unknown device"

Model: wdau4d246712
I have an older model of the My Passport and I would like to access its contents, but it is not recognized in Disk Manager or File Explorer. On Device Manager it shows up as an unknown device under “Other Devices”. I couldn’t find any drivers for this model, possibly because it is pretty old. Microsoft does not have any drivers for this device.

I tried two different windows 11 PCs and both times yielded the same results.
