Q: Can I manage my Family Sharing and child's Apple ID from my windows computer?

This should answer:

From the family Sharing Page (Family Sharing - Apple Support):

"You can use Family Sharing on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 8, your Mac with OS X Yosemite and iTunes 12, or your PC with iCloud for Windows 4.0. To get started, one adult in your household—the family organizer—sets up Family Sharing"

"iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are required to set up or join a Family Sharing group and are recommended for full functionality."

To set it up, go to your iCloud Settings on the iOS 8 device.

So basically, you can't manage it from your PC; from your PC, you can only access the shared iTunes content and other iCloud shared stuff such as photos, calendar etc.

Here is another Apple support page with info on setting up Family Sharing:

Not really odd. Family Sharing is set up through iCloud. And like iCloud, it cannot be set up on a PC.

This is misleading by Apple. I install iCloud on windows and can't manage family sharing. I thought "cloud" meant something other than Apple Device. Frustrating.
