Windows backup on iCloud

Hi guys,


I have a HP Windows laptop that just stopped working. I can still see the loading screen but then it goes black.


I thought I made a backup using iCloud and when I log in on our family iMac and go to “Apple ID”, I see on the left bottom corner: LAPTOP-numbers&letters (Windows). But when I go to iCloud.com I don’t see a backup to download.


Does anyone know the solution to this because when I don’t have a backup I am in really big trouble.

Windows, Windows 10

Hello TheunD,


You mentioned looking for a Mac backup in iCloud. iCloud backups are not used with a Mac, as this is an iOS function.

However, iCloud can sync information to the iCloud website and other devices using the same Apple ID and has items selected to sync with iCloud.

We're wondering if syncing with iCloud is what you meant. Here is some information about backing up and iCloud on your Mac which can help:

If we misunderstood, please provide some additional information to help us understand.


Thanks!
