The very first iPhone (from 2007) does have iCloud lock. It cannot be updated past iOS 3, which did not even support iCloud at the time.
You should be able to plug the iPhone into any Pc with iTunes and have it be detected. click here ➜ iOS device not showing in iTunes for Windows - Apple Community
What exactly happens when you try to install iTunes?

See the following support document for a list of iTunes Installers and downloads. (Scroll down to the iTunes installers section)
