lsusb...

and when I run
dmesg |tail

I have tried Windows before Ubuntu, I was able to identify as APX in device manager but I could not understand and get any results, and decide to move to Ubuntu.
I appreciate if I can get straight answer that I can’t seem to find:
Since it’s visible as APX in ubuntu and Windows what are % chances to be recoverable?
I’m newbie and I have tried to learn as much as I can…but after a week of frustration I’m very down on energy, and lost …in commands that don’t seem to work as specified on forum.
I appreciate any help and direction on where should I start.
