I have on my iCloud thousands of family photos which were lost from a deceased external hard disk, how can I extract from the cloud those photos to reorder them into my computer?

If you are using OS 10.10.3 or above, open Photos, then go to Photos/Preferences/iCloud and set up syncing. Then go to System Preferences/iCloud, sign in, and check Photos syncing.
