Q: Where are my NUMEROUS Albums in iCloud for Windows?

My wife's iPad 3 &  iPhone 6 Plus are both on the wife's same Apple ID & Password.

 

So, 1st, I deleted the  200 or so Photos & Videos on the 6 Plus - because they are all also on the iPad 3 with the over 1,300 other Photos & Videos.

She only kept a few Photos & Videos on the 6 Plus to show others - since she usually has only the 6 Plus with her when out of the House.

 

Then, I turned on iCloud Photo Library on only the iPad 3 & gave it a full day to download everything to iCloud.

Then, from my Desktop Computer, I determined that I could in fact access all 1,300+ Photos & Videos by going to iCloud.com & signing into my wife's account.

 

Then, I turned on iCloud Photo Library on the 6 Plus.

All 1,300+ Photos & Videos are now also on the 6 Plus.

 

Then, I downloaded / installed iCloud for Windows on my Desktop computer

 

It seems to have installed all of the Photos & Videos - rather quickly I must say.

 

But it has all of the Photos & Videos in only 6 folders (2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, & 2016) & not in the numerous Albums as they appear on the wife's iPad 3, iPhone 6 Plus, & on iCloud.com

 

Did I do something wrong?

 

What is the point of the iCloud for Windows on the Desktop Computer if it does not download all of the numerous albums needed to keep the Photos & Videos organized?

 

I could have accomplished the exact same thing withOUT even bothering with iCloud for Windows on the Desktop Computer & JUST  "imported" the Photos & Videos directly from the iPad 3 to the Desktop Computer
