purchases vanish after upgrade

How can I find the music I have already purchased on iTunes? When I upgraded on my Windows PC a third of my purchases seem unobtainable. I have downloaded purchases from the cloud, but it did not contain all that should be there. What do I do?

iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.2

Thanks that was helpful. Not all purchases were there. Checked through my media files on PC and found in music the files which related to iTunes library. All my previous purchases where there including the ones visible on iTunes once I had downloaded from the cloud. I remade the link and all is well. I guess I must be doing something wrong, but remaking link with my media files did the trick.
