Can I extract the data from an SSD drive of a dead 2011 Macbook pro? (Vids, Pics, Word docs)

Hi!

So, a 2011 MBP died.
It has an upgraded SSD drive, which works fine.

The question is: can I extract the data from it by connecting it to a Windows machine (I do have a SATA to USB cable)?

Only need the videos, pictures, word documents and PDFs I had there.

Thanks!!!

How to Read a Mac-Formatted Drive on a Windows PC

Windows can’t normally read Mac-formatted drives, and will offer to erase them instead. But third-party tools fill the gap and provide access to drives formatted with Apple’s HFS+ file system on Windows. This also allows you to restore Time Machine backups on Windows.

JMVB has the answer.

I'm not a Windows guy (been Mac-only since 1987), but I would NOT connect a Mac drive to a Windows computer unless I had already installed the required software to access the Mac file system.

Otherwise, there might be "unintended consequences"...
