To a first approximation (and relying on my memory): Make a list of installed apps: rpm -qa > LIST Copy LIST to a safe place. Install (or re-install) Fedora using BTRFS. Restore user data from backups. Also of course /etc/yum.d/* plus /usr/local and /opt if you use them. Install the apps: dnf install $(cat LIST) [may require several iterations if there are dependency errors] I did this because I actually wanted a clean install and was starting from F32. As you already have F33 it may not be strictly necessary as you can convert ext4 to BTRFS in-place.
