Hi MaddieandMae,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities! We're glad you've reached out to the community for help with this question about syncing Messages on your iPhone with your PC. We're glad to help!
To clarify, you are using a Windows PC, and not a Mac computer, correct?
While it's possible on a Mac to directly sync Messages app on iPhone with Messages app on Mac using iCloud, there isn't an option to do so on a Windows PC. This is expected behavior.
To sync attachments in Messages on iPhone with Windows PC, we can recommend saving those attachments to other apps, or to iCloud Drive. For example, if you save photos or videos in the Messages app to Photos app on iPhone, you can sync your Photos Library with your computer.
Here's a guide with more information about setting up iCloud Photos to view items in the Photos app on PC:
Set up and use iCloud Photos on your Windows PC
To access iCloud Drive or other iCloud content not stored in Photos, you'll want to refer to the information in this guide:
Set up and use iCloud for Windows
We're here for you if you've got any questions.
Have a great day!
