(F-42; stand-alone workstation; Gnome)

Just before trying to upgrade from F-40 to F-41, I did a back-up to a USB 3 stick.
The upgrade failed.
A local friend gave me a windows-10 box to use.  Until I could get the Fedora workstation adequately restored, I needed to get a few things off the F-40 back-up onto the windows-10 box. Attempts to re-install Fedora from Fedora-42 Live Workstation appear to have completely destroyed the partitioning of the hard drive. When I inserted the back-up stick into the port, windows-10 told me to use defender to scan the stick.  I did so.  I asked for a scan only. I did not want defender to attempt any repair or other changes.  Defender reported no problems. But now when I insert the back-up stick into a port on either tower, it's claimed the back-up stick is un-formatted and empty.  Fedora's "disks" and windows-10 (file browser and defender) agree. I do not recall which file system the back-up stick was formatted with beforehand.

How can I recover the back-up (without cost)?
Note that I'm needing to recover the back-up as a whole, not just a file or 2 from a back-up.
