Q: moving and accessing itunes library on icloud

I am trying to move my iTunes on my PC (windows 7)to the icloud.  Have set up an account but when I sign in it mentions photos, documents but not music.  I think I have about 10gb of music.  Is that too much for the cloud?  If so, how do I remedy this so that I have a backup for my music on iCloud?

  I think that I have also put the music on my iPad mini on the cloud. If so, how do I determine this?

null, PC Windows 7

    How to back up your devices using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support

    Make a backup using iCloud

    1. Connect your device to a Wi-Fi network.
    2. In iOS 8 or later, tap Settings > iCloud > Backup.
      In iOS 7 or earlier, tap Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup. 
    3. Make sure that iCloud Backup is turned on.
    4. Tap Back Up Now. Stay connected to your Wi-Fi network until the process completes.
    5. Make sure the backup finished by tapping Settings > iCloud > Storage > Manage Storage, and then select your device. The backup you just made should appear in the details with the time and backup size.

     

    iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview

    Here’s what iCloud backs up:

    • Purchase history for music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books

       

      Your iCloud backup includes information about the content you have purchased, but not the purchased content itself. When you restore from an iCloud backup, your purchased content is automatically downloaded

     

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care
