Q: Does iCloud actually work with Windows?

So when I try to use iCloud on my phone, it tells me that it now requires iOS9 or OSX Yosemite or later.   No mention of Windows.  Yet, there is an "iCloud for Windows" so I'm confused.  Do they just not bother to mention Windows on the requirements, or does iCloud for Windows not actually work any more with iOS9?

iPhone 6, Other OS, Windows 10

    What I mean is, when it tells me to upgrade to ICloud Drive which is required for iOS9 to work with iCloud, it warns me that it only works with devices running iOS 9 and OSX Yosemite or later.  So, that's what I am asking about...   I know the system requirements on the website say it works, what is confusing is the warning on my phone that it's not.
