Hi elman7777777,
Since you are wanting to work with Photo Stream on your PC, I would suggest downloading and installing iCloud for Windows on your computer. The resources below will explain how to set iCloud for Windows up and how to work with My Photostream on your PC.
Before you download iCloud for Windows, you'll need an iCloud account. You can sign in to iCloud with your Apple ID.
What is My Photo Stream? Think of it as a feed of all your most recent photos. With the exception of Live Photos, My Photo Stream automatically uploads 1,000 pics from the last 30 days from each of your devices.

Set up iCloud for Windows
You need to download and install iCloud for Windows before you can start using it.
- Download iCloud for Windows. If it doesn't install automatically, go to File Explorer and open iCloud Setup.

- Enter your Apple ID to sign in to iCloud.
- Choose the features and content that you want to keep up to date across your devices.

Download your photos and share with friends
When you turn on Photos, iCloud for Windows creates a Photos folder in File Explorer called iCloud Photos. iCloud Photo Library uploads new photos and videos you add to the iCloud Photos Uploads folder on your PC so you can view them in the Photos app on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac, and on iCloud.com. New photos and videos you take automatically download from iCloud Photo Library and you can choose to download your entire collection by year. And iCloud Photo Sharing lets you view, share, and comment on the photos and videos you share with other people.
You can also use these steps to find your photos on your PC:
- Windows 8.1 or later: From the Start screen, click the down arrow in the bottom-left corner, then click the iCloud Photos app.
- Windows 8: From the Start screen, select iCloud Photos.
- Windows 7: Click the Windows Start button, then click Pictures. Click iCloud Photos or Photo Stream under the Favorites menu in the panel on the left. Double-click My Photo Stream to view your photos. This also shows up as a folder in the window that appears.

How does My Photo Stream work with iCloud Photo Library?
My Photo Stream uploads your most recent photos so you can view and import them to all of your devices. Photos are stored in My Photo Stream for 30 days. iCloud Photo Library uploads all of your photos and videos to iCloud and keeps them up to date across your devices.
