Icloud on my PC

I have outlook express 2010, Windows 10 did an upgrade download. Now I have been unable to acess my icloud schedule. I have some of my appointments in my Iphone but I find quite a few are missing. Are these permanantly loss?

Also I found a website that told me to

simply sign out of iCloud and then sign back in, and that is all I have to do to get it to work again.

Make sure Outlook is closed.
Open iCloud; Open the Start Menu and simply type “iCloud” should return “iCloud Desktop app” as a result.
Press the Sign out button.
When prompted whether you want to keep a copy of your iCloud contacts, calendar and tasks, choose: Delete from computer.
Wait a few minutes for all changes to be applied.
Sign in to iCloud again.
In iCloud, select the option to sync Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and Tasks.

My only fear of signing out is that icloud states that I would be permanently deleted from my pc. What should I do as I can't loos the schedule information if it somewhere in my computer?

Yes, that is correct - trying to sign out of your iCloud account, then sign back in should resolve the issue. When you do so, the appointments are removed from the local device, but should still remain in iCloud itself.

Go to iCloud.com and take a look at your Calendar there. If you see what you are looking for there, then you can safely log out of iCloud on your PC and then back in again. If iCloud doesn't seem to have what you are looking for, then you probably want to keep looking for a resolution.

All the warning is saying is that what you are seeing right now on your PC will be deleted. Once you sign back in to iCloud, it is pushed back to your PC from iCloud.
