Iphone/icloud photo storage confusion..

I normally very technically capable but i will admit i have a definite block with apple products.

Anyway the story is i have an iphone and im being told my icloud storage is almost full.

Its mostly photos.

Now im guessing that every pic i take is automatically being duplicated on icloud.

Here what i want to do.

I want to make sure photos on both my phone and icloud are the same,,i.e both libraries are synchronised.

I then want to download or copy that photo collection to my laptop (win 10).

I then want to switch off icloud photo backup so that it doesnt fill up again !

Is that possible?

The more i read the more im convinced apple do their best to block that from happening!

Thanks for clues..
Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    both are the same that's pretty much a given, go to www.icloud.com an download your photos, then turn off icloud backup on your phone, not something id recommend though, id recommend upgrading your space for 79p a month and keep the security of the backup
