download icloud photos to my windows pc

I have a new mac pro, and an Ipad, and an Iphone 6 along with a windows laptop that runs on windows 7 pro. My photo stream works great with everything but my windows laptop. I can't seem to download the photos to my windows laptop. I have set up the icloud for windows and seem to have everything set right, but I can't seem to get the photos to download to my laptop. any suggestions?
