How to convert storage from MIFS to Ext3/Ext4?

Per the new HyperOS update, Xiaomi has decided to use their own file system, the so-called MIFS (Mi File System), which is a pain in the butt when it comes to TWRP not recognizing my storage due to it being encrypted with MIFS, so now my HyperOS is pretty stuck at 1.0.23. I cannot update or change the OS due to the fact that TWRP refuses to mount my internal storage (again, due to MIFS), and I have searched far and wide without any answers.

I understand this will result in a complete data wipe, I just need a way to somehow convert the file system to something that TWRP actually recognizes, so that I can mount my internal storage and update HyperOS. Mine is Xiaomi 13, running Xiaomi.eu's HyperOS 1.0.23.
 
If you have a Xiaomi 13, this is not your problem.
If you don't see storage in TWRP, you probably have an old version of TWRP for android 13. You need to update TWRP for android 14.

You can also update the ROM using the fastboot method.
