"The icloud setup seems to go into a loop. I follow the instructions in the Verify Apple Account per message below: the system goes through the verification process, sends verification code to my iPhone, I type in the verification code on my PC (withWindows 11). But the icloud app returns me back to this screen - and this message. I would love to debug this problem - help!"

Thank you for the followup reply, and then screenshot.
Verifying your Upgrade:
Login here, and see if you see you iCloud+ in your Subscriptions: https://account.apple.com/account/manage/section/subscriptions
If so,...
A. Start with a Restart:
Restart your PC.
B. New iCloud Logins:
Sign out of iCloud on all of your devices, and then sign back in, one device at a time.
C. Turn Off VPNs:
Do you have a VPN turned on? IF so, turn it off.
D. Temporarily Disable Security Software:
Do you have any Security Software turned on, on your PC? If so, turn it off while this is performed. Reenable it, once successful.
