Welcome to Android Central! When you plug the phone into the computer via USB, do you see a USB notification icon in the status bar? Swipe down the notification panel and tap the USB icon, then make sure MTP is selected. Now see if the device shows up in Windows Explorer.

You can't transfer photos unless the phone is turned on.

Use Microsoft one drive app. It collects all your photos in real time as you take them and puts them in the cloud. Then simply transfer them to Windows 10 w/o a USB cable.

Along those lines, you could also upload all of your photos to Google Photos in the cloud. You can easily access them on your computer browser on the Google Photos website, and download any of them as needed to the computer.
