This question may sound weird. I have a Macbook pro early 2011 model with damaged screen. It used to be my primary device till 6 months ago. Its SSD is still working good. Is there any way to use this SSD as hackintosh SSD in my windows PC ? Is there any way to convert mac SSD to hackintosh SSd without losing data ?
Right now it is running MacOS high Sierra.

Completely possible BUT backup your data on macbook ssd first. If you dont have access to another mac to use in backup just remove ssd from broken Macbook and leave it alone. Use a different ssd or hard disk to make hackintosh desktop. Dont suggest making hackintosh laptop if you dont have hackintosh experience. There is a very significant risk of losing your data by trying to boot is as a hackintosh plus it would be technically difficult even for hackintosh experts as they usually do fresh installs wiping a ssd clean first.

if macbook ok except for screen use external monitor , backup data to external ssd or hd first or to worry less just clone entire macbook ssd to external disk via usb thus you have everything backed up.

once your hackintosh is running can easily plug in the macbook ssd to it and hopefully can read access all your data. it's not encrypted is it? or locked? There are workarounds though. There is software that lets you read mac ssd'd on a windows machine should you need some data urgently..
