Did you download the Apple Music app on your PC, then upload the music...
...into that app, then sync it to your iPhone? That's how I handled my music on my iPhone, and I never had a problem. Actually the Apple app I used is no longer supported, so the current one is "Apple Music."
I bought a Mac after Microsoft's tech support "bricked my PC." I've been pretty happy switching to a Mac (Mini). I've had a Mac Air laptop for 6-7 years, and the one recurring )overheating) issue was resolved in later models when Apple switched from Intel chips to their own M-series chips. They don't overheat like the Intel chips.
In the ~20 years of iPhone ownership, I had one software update issue that I was able to resolve via the internet. Every other update has gone absolutely flawlessly. I'll never go back to Windows. Microsoft is dead to me.
