Have you followed:

That tells you (or purports to tell you) how to upload photos from your
Apple gadget to iCloud. It doesn't tell you how to use a Windows machine
to look at somebody else's photos on iCloud.

It includes:

"Turn on iCloud Photos

Download iCloud for Windows.
Open iCloud for Windows.
Next to Photos, click Options.
Select iCloud Photo Library.
Click Done, then click Apply.
Turn on iCloud Photos on all of your Apple devices.

You can also choose to use My Photo Stream and iCloud Photo Sharing
(Shared Albums), and customize the location of your upload and download
folders.

When you turn on iCloud Photos on your PC, My Photo Stream is turned off
automatically. If you want to send new photos to your devices that don't
use iCloud Photos, you can turn My Photo Stream back on."

Now assuming the uploader has already done the iCloud apple devices bit,
the PC bit ought[1] to work.

[1] although in the same way as many iThink things are ought to work -
i.e. quite possibly not at at all or badly.
