Help please!

I have a ton of data stored on a 3TB Seagate Backup+ Drive that have been using connected to a nighthawk router as a network storage. My router failed and I was forced to get a new one, upgraded to Google WiFi which of course doesn't have the ability to network a drive to it. When connecting to my windows desktop via USB 3.0 the drive is no longer seen as an accessible volume. It can be seen in Disk Management but it is not showing a file system and will not let me assign a drive letter to it. I have verified that all my data is still on the Drive via the Seagate recovery software. My primary question is. how do I regain access to the data on that drive? I was able to access the data from the same computer when it was networked in. I really would love NOT to spend the 80 on the license to recover the data. Thank you in advance!

Some one probably has a better solution than I do, but whenever I try to recover files on a volume that Windows cannot access (whether it's corrupted or something), I often find my self using Linux (I personally use Ubuntu just because it's nice and easy) as it seems to be able to handle messed up file systems much better than Windows.

I have 0 experience with Linux. Will i be able to fix the drive so the data is accessible in windows? I currently don't have a volume large enough to store my data (entire movie library) if i have to recover and migrate.
