Unfortunately, this was quite the disaster! I upgraded following the dnf instructions to the letter. Everything went smoothly, however, I got no login screen. Basically, a black screen. So, I reinstalled from Fedora 38 (which was what I had on a USB) and then upgraded to 41 which is where I am now. Perhaps for Fedora 42, I need to do something else to get xserver going, but I have to find out more about this before I do the upgrade next.
