Q: How to upload 9527 photos from my PC?

My 2008 iMac crashed. Hard drive fried.  I had a back up of my iPhoto library on an external hard drive, and I am trying to upload it to my iCloud photo library in anyway possible. I have unzipped the file and installed iCloud photo library on my PC. I CANNOT add my photos to iCloud no matter what I do.

 

I am running Windows 10 BTW.

 

So - Methods I have tried -

 

* Make a new shared album - click "Add photos or videos" - Selecting all. (No files show up in the file name box)

 

* Make a new shared album - click "add photos or videos" - Select about 250 files. (File names show up but adding more files do not show up in the following window, after clicking done files do not appear in album)

 

* Copy files to "C:\Users\Doug\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream" . (Files do not appear in iCloud Photo Stream)

 

 

I have tried for many hours to do this and it is very frustrating and dumb.... why can I not drag and drop to the albums???

 

I am sometimes able to copy 100 photos or so to an online album, but inconsistently (and I would need to do it 96 times).....
