Can I use an android phone or a Asus Laptop as a trusted device for my icloud account? If so how can I set that up?

Ok, So. I am asking how can I turn this laptop into a trusted device for my iCLOUD account since I don't have an iPHONE or apple product at the moment?

iPhone, Windows 10

No. See the following from Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support


What is a trusted device?

A trusted device is an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, or Mac that you've already signed in to using two-factor authentication. It's a device that we know is yours and that can be used to verify your identity by displaying a verification code from Apple when you sign in on a different device or browser.


An Android (or other, including landline) can be a trusted phone number (and you can have multiple trusted phone numbers. See the "What is a trusted phone number?" section of that same support article.


You won't be able to add a new trusted phone number unless you have access to your account.

If you have a trusted number available, see: Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication - Apple Support


If you don't have any trusted devices or trusted phone numbers, see the following from that support article:

If you can’t sign in, reset your password, or receive verification codes, you can request account recovery to regain access to your account. Account recovery might take a few days or longer, depending on the specific account information you can provide to verify your identity.
