Hi turtlefisher,
Thanks for responding with more information. There are two bits of information you described in your response that we can address and hopefully help shed some further light on your situation.
First, you mention that your sister’s Apple ID is for iTunes but hasn’t been used with iCloud. To use Family Sharing, she will need to set up her Apple ID for use with iCloud as well. Please use the attached article below for instructions on how to complete this process.
Set up your Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes - Apple Support
The next concern we need to address is how she can join your group because she doesn’t have the option to join in the email she receives on her Windows computer. As Jason pointed out in the article he attached, to join a family group, the only supported ways you can accept or decline an invitation is from an iPhone, iPad, iPod, or Mac. Once she sets up her Apple ID for iCloud, she will then be able to join the family group as described in the attached article.
Start or join a family group using Family Sharing - Apple Support
You can accept or decline an invitation to join a family from you iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac.
- In iOS 8, go to Settings > iCloud > Invitations.
Have a great day,
Joe
