Hey wahanz!


In order to sync your Windows contacts to your iPhone, you will need to first create an iCloud account:

You will create the iCloud account on your iOS device, and when you do, don’t forget to turn on contact syncing in the initial setup. Then you will want to download the iCloud control panel for Windows onto your computer and install it:


iCloud Control Panel 3.1 for Windows

Make sure that your contacts are in Outlook, as that is the supported way of syncing your contacts to iCloud, then make sure you have the contact syncing enabled in the iCloud control panel on your computer, and when the contacts have synced, they will be available on your iOS device! Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!
