To download photos and videos with original date, time, and location details from iCloud to your Windows PC, you can follow these steps:


  1. On your PC, open a web browser and go to the iCloud website (www.icloud.com).
  2. Sign in to your iCloud account using your Apple ID and password.
  3. Click on the "Photos" icon to access your iCloud Photo Library.
  4. Select the photos and videos you want to download by clicking on them. You can also click on the first photo or video and then hold down the Shift key and click on the last one to select all of them at once.
  5. Once you have selected the files you want to download, click on the download button (the cloud icon with the downward arrow) at the top right corner of the screen.
  6. Your photos and videos will be downloaded to your PC in a .zip file. Double-click on the .zip file to extract the photos and videos.
  7. Once the files are extracted, you will see the original date, time, and location details in the file names or metadata (if the files have EXIF metadata).


Note: If your photos and videos do not have location details, it may be because your device did not have location services turned on when the photos were taken. Also, if you have edited the photos in iCloud, the edited versions may not have the original metadata.
