Download from where?

to backup your iPhone to your windows PC, use the Apple Devices App. connect your iPhone via USB-Cable, click your device if not selected automatically, then click general. Trust your device and/or PC if necessary. There, you should be able to create a new backup stored locally on your windows PC.
