Adding a device to iCloud that isn't an Apple product

Can I add another device to my iCloud account that isn't an Apple product? My laptop is a MS SurfacePro. When I use it to login to iCloud with my Apple ID, it works but only temporarily. Within minutes it closes and I have to login again, and again, and again . . . Is there a solution to this problem?

If you are using Windows, have you tried iCloud for Windows?


iCloud for Windows


You may need to enable 2 Factor Authentication on your Apple ID and create an app specific password to use. If your account won’t allow 2 Factor Authentication, try 2 step verification.
