My father's iPhone text messages are set to never delete. Nevertheless, is oldest text messages are just three months old and his phone is over three years old.

He uses a Windows 10 laptop that he has never used as a backup of his phone. He does have iCloud backing up his text messages.

Is there a way to restore his text messages without wiping his phone completely and restoring from a iCloud backup? If so, how far back should he expect to have iCloud backup?

Thank you for looking.
