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.
If the files are in your /home you can do a fresh install on f42 and
tell it to use the existing /home.
If you boot a Fedora UDB live image you can mount your backup USB in
that environment and
network copy the files you need to the Windows machine.

The install (2 weeks ago now) was tried 3 times. First, the windows-7
partition was reduced about 100 GB. Then......
1. I wanted to re-install on a dual-boot system. But that killed the
partition in which /home was located, I'm guessing by in part converting
all Linux partitions to btrfs.
2. I tried installing on the dual-boot system. If I remember correctly,
it couldn't find enough space, though there was about 1 TB available.
Then a local friend gave me the windows-10 box. So then....
3. I had no choice left but to try a total new install; no more
dual-boot. That's what I have now.
So the files that were on the hard drive are gone. The partition they
were in is gone. Everything, both in Fedora and windows seems to be
saying the stick is empty and un-formatted.
