Windows 10: Migrating data from MacBook Pro hard drive to Windows 10 machine

The logic board on my MBP is fried so the machine will not even boot up. I have seen a few articles about migrating Mac files to a Windows machine, but they all require using the Mac to "send" the files to Windows. That option is not available to me. I have an external drive containing Time Machine backups. I also have the hard drive salvaged from the dead Mac. How can I retrieve my files (Pages & rtf documents, Numbers spreadsheets, Keynote presentations, Photos library of images, projects & slideshows and videos, and music files) and apps from the hard drives I have? I don't yet have a Windows laptop. I am weighing my options & trying to decide whether to stay with Mac or go back to Windows, which is what I pre-2011. Thanks for any insights you can give. If I have entered this question under the incorrect topic heading, could you please move it to the appropriate area so as to tap into the right experts. Thanks.

Reloading Windows 10 Pro after a hard drive crash

My ASUS G60 laptop hard drive crashed. I bought a new SSD and plan to install it. The computer started out as a Win 7 Pro machine, migrated to Win 8 Pro, and finally Win 10 Pro. I found the product key for Windows 8 Pro but not Windows 10. How do I got
about reinstalling Windows 10 Pro? Does Microsoft keep some sort of list of machines that have Windows 10 Pro on them so I can install and it will look up my product key? Thanks.

Mac. Here are the list that supports Windows 10:

• MacBook Pro (2012 and later)
• MacBook Air (2012 and later)
• MacBook (2015 and later)
• iMac Pro (2017)iMac (2012 and later)
• Mac mini (2012 and later)
