If you copied the file from the USB onto your laptop the laptop file has
been overwritten and probably can't be recovered. You would need to have a
program that could search the hard drive for the text within the original
document and hope that you could recover that way. Had you simply deleted
the original file it could have been recovered but an overwritten file is
normally gone for good.

It is extremely important to keep backup files of any important documents on
a different storage device than the hard drive of the computer.
