Re: unable to get Fedora login screen.

Good afternoon,
Resuming from yesterday afternoon...
This afternoon, a friend brought me a F41 live USB.  I am able to boot it.  Firefox works, but seems prone to crashing.  I tried to do the Fedora install from the live USB.  Both I and my friend were very soon lost, and did not know how to proceed.  What I found on the Fedora website was not much help for my situation.

* This is a dual-boot stand-alone workstation: windows-7 + Fedora.
* As of yesterday afternoon, I can no longer log in to either OS.
* I'd like to preserve the windows-7 part of the hard drive.
* I want Fedora-41 workstation installed over the current non-functioning Fedora 40/41 workstation.
* I don't know how to get numbers, but from past experience I know that the boot(?) partition needs to be bigger.  In the past, I had to cut back to current kernel + one old kernel, no rescue.  I also have memtest[whatever] (it's in the grub menu).  I'd like to have current kernel + 3 old kernels + rescue + memtest + windows-7.
* I'd sure like to keep my /home data, but I realize that might not be possible.

You can see what my hardware is here:
"https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=7fa74ee631";.

A few of you have been wanting me to re-install.  I seem to have no other option.  I seriously need help with this re-install.

Thank-you in advance.
