Hello patelhiranya,


It appears you cannot:


Set up Family Sharing - https://support.apple.com/HT201088

  • "To use Family Sharing, you need an Apple ID signed in to iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 8 or later, or Mac with OS X Yosemite or later."


You can get shared material with a PC with iCloud for Windows but apparently you need to have an Apple device to set it up.
