Storage Device Macbook Air A1466

[Revoire]

My macbook Air 2015 nuked its gpu/screen somehow and all I see are black and white static lines and some hint of the desktop background. 

 

I have some school files that I needed in its SSD?. Do I need like special equipments/tools to connect it on my PC? And is its like straightforward as seeing the Macbook SSD as a Drive in the PC once i connected it?

Have you tried hooking it up to an external display? Otherwise, your screwed, they use a proprietary ssd.

Yep, by the looks of it the gpu/cpu has been f'ed up. I tried searching how to retrieve files from a mac ssd using a pc. No beuno on that lol

You want to startup the damaged mac in target disk mode so the internal drive appears as an external drive on another computer, much like a USB stick.

You'll need a usb cable with 2 male connections

Press and hold T key then turn on mac, wait 15 seconds, then plug in the cable

That older Mac doesn’t have usb-c so OP will almost certainly need to buy a Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter, and a Thunderbolt 3/4 cable to connect it to a newer Mac to use Target Disk Mode. This is one example where I’d visit the local Apple Store to make a Genius Bar appointment because they’ll have this stuff on hand so OP would just have to bring the two Macs, hopefully it’s not that much to move over. 
 

or, OP could pull it out and put it in a specifically designed enclosure like this:
