How to Download Photos from iCloud to Windows 7/10

“My issue is that I would like to get the photos stored in iCloud onto my phone or PC but I can’t seem to manage to access just the photos in iCloud. Or even a way to simply select what I want on my new phone from iCloud. It’s an all or none situation! Once I manage to take my photos off iCloud I will delete the backup stored and start a new one.”

Just like the Apple user reported, you may want to download photos from iCloud to your Windows for a future use. But how to achieve this?
