Backing up to new computer

I was using a Mac laptop which my phone is backed up to which no longer works, I bought a windows laptop and haven’t backed my phone up for a long time, I’m now getting a new phone and don’t know how to transfer everything to my new phone. How can I back my current phone up to my new windows laptop without losing everything?

Hi

I haven't used my pc For backup for 3 years Almost everything can be done over your wifi.

Go to iCloud make sure iCloud back up is then backup iPhone over your wifi

When you charge an iphone /ipad it automatically backs up to iCloud Over your wifi

If you need to restore iPhone or get a new one set up over wifi when it asks if you want to use iCloud backup Say yes to get your apps and data back on new iPhone.

Go to i books download ios 11 user guide &iPhone guide for your model iPhone both are free

Cheers
