transfer photos from icloud to windows 11 pc

Hi cruncher52,

You can download the photos from iCloud.com to your computer.

On iCloud.com, click Photos and select a photo or video. Hold the command key on your Mac or control key on your PC to select multiple photos or videos. 

Click and hold the download button  in the upper corner of the window. If you want to download your photo or video as it was originally captured or imported, choose Unmodified Original. For JPEG or H.264 format — including edits, and even if it was originally in HEIF or HEVC format — choose Most Compatible.*

Click Download.

You can find these and additional details in Download iCloud photos and videos.

Regards.
