As above really.

I had a 2010 MBP which I put in a Samsung Evo SSD, said MBP is now dead thanks to the logic board but I want to access the the hard drive as I have some old pictures on there I'd like t retrieve.

I bought a SATA cable completely forgetting that the SSD was formatted for a MBP and not for use with window 10. How can I access the SSD without re-formatting it and losing everything as I no longer have an access to an apple machine?

Thanks in advance!

Paragon's stuff is generally good; I use their NTFS for Mac. The above will work if the drive was HFS. If it was APFS you'll need their APFS version instead.

There's also MacDrive too which IIRC can also do both.
