Enabling iCloud Photo Library without deleting existing photos...help

I

iMore Question

Trying to upload 5,000 photos in photo albums on my mother in laws' PC ("My Pictures") onto her new iPad and ultimately iCloud so her iPhone can see them too. I can use iTunes on her PC to transfer via cable perfectly and they show up perfect in the photos app; however, when I go to enable iCloud Photo Library so it will start using iCloud and begin uploading it threatens to remove all the photos I just transferred because of the sync to the PC which I will no longer need.
Help please. THX
