How do I retrieve my old backup and pictures?

I downloaded iCloud on my PC and I don't know how to find my old pictures from the backup on my old phone. How do I do this?

iPhone 6, iOS 9.2.1

You cannot see the contents of a backup. The backup that you do of an iDevice is there so you can use it to restore a phone to that backup if needed. The only way to see what is in a backup is to restore that backup to an iDevice. Restoring the device to any backup will "reset" the device to look like it did when that backup was made. Any changes made after that backup would disappear with the exception of things sync'd to iCloud like Contacts, Calendars, Notes, etc.
