Hello BillRX,


If you're able to sign in with the same Apple ID on a different device, we'll want to see what could be interfering with signing in on your PC. Security software can often interfere with signing into iCloud for Windows. Resolve issues between iCloud for Windows or iTunes and third-party security software provides this information and more.


"Things to check first

Before you change your security software's setup: 


If you've completed the steps above already, then continue through the "Test your connectivity" and "Test your security software" section.


We hope this helps.


Cheers!
