Is there any way of getting an Apple ID

Thanks, Andy!

But during the process, everything Windows seemed to conspire against
me with updates.
Then tea was declared.
I thought I had confirmed the Apple ID, allowed the W10, AV, Browser
and VMWare updates to happen, then it came back with a login screen.

On entering the email and password, it said that I have to use the
login with an iOS or OSx device to set it up before using the iCloud
login for Windows.

I've given up for tonight, but will start again tomorrow.

I too have tried this but gave up at this point. Even if you can get it
working now, at some future point it is bound to stop working due to
some improvement either at Apple or Windows. Then you have to spend
another few hours finding out how to get it working again. Life's too
short.
