Hello Joshua,
Okay, I am going to paste in an article I wrote about 3 years ago that should
answer your question. Even though I mentioned Windows 10, in the article, the
steps definitely apply to Windows 7, 64-bit, as well.
So, read on:
Mark's Accessibility Steps for Using iTunes 12.7 for Windows, How To Manage
Custom Ring Tones, etc.

Hello Everyone,
I am going to cross-post this to both the V iPhone and Mac Visionaries
mailing lists for those who, like me, use both iTunes for Windows and Mac.
First, let me state that I just spent the past hour working with iTunes 12.7
on two Windows 10 PCs in conjunction with an iPhone 6 S Plus, running iOS
11, with the latest version of Jaws on both computers.
Second, there are some initial video driver problems with iTunes when Jaws
is running. Therefore, I suggest that you launch iTunes, at least once,
without Jaws running-using, perhaps, Narrator, as the screen reader. After
that, you should be good to go with Jaws running with iTunes 12.7. This was
my experience on two Windows 10 PCs.
Third, be aware that some Jaws commands, including the Application button,
do not work on selected items in iTunes 12.7. There are easy workarounds
but I just want you to know that if you encounter problems, it's probably
not your fault.
Fourth, be sure to explore iTunes 12.7 for Windows using the F6, Tab, and
arrow keys to gain a better understanding of the somewhat new layout of the
application.
Fifth, As in the previous version of iTunes, selecting the Summary tab, when
your iOS device is connected to iTunes will display the same options as in
iTunes 12.6 including the ability to configure accessibility settings.
Sixth, In order to add/or remove custom ringtones to and from your device,
you must make certain that the Manually Manage Videos and Music checkbox
option is, checked. If you have to place a checkmark in the checkbox, be
sure to hit the Apply button to save this change, okay?
Okay, now to the fun stuff. In iTunes 12.7 for Windows, it is no longer
necessary to actually use the file menu to import ringtones. In fact,
attempting to do so will gain you nothing. (smile). So, to add a ringtone
to your device, using Windows Explorer, copy the file to memory using the
standard windows command of Control+C.
Next, with iTunes 12.7 in focus, your iOS device attached to your PC and
selected, using standard jaws navigation commands, place focus on the Tones
tab, located in the iTunes Sidebar. Oh, make sure that you have iTunes set
to display the Sidebar.
Now, once you have the Tones tab selected, press the Tab key on your
keyboard until you land in the list view of currently installed custom
ringtones. Then, simply use the paste command, Control+V, to add the
ringtone to your device.
By the way, you will notice that, as you tab around the tones area, you will
land on an actions button. You can use this button to act on the currently
selected ringtone, such as playing it.
To delete a ringtone, you must place focus on the particular ringtone you
wish to remove from your device, and press the delete key. Neither the
Application button nore the Jaws right-mouse click will work, at this time.
Even the Actions button will not offer a delete choice. The only way to
remove the ringtone, at the time of this writing is to either press the
Delete key on the keyboard, or press the right mouse button on your mouse
and/or touch pad.
Okay, I'm exhausted so I'm going to sign off for now.
Good Luck and Happy Ring Toning. (smile)
Mark

Subject: Hi to all, can someone help me put ringtones on my iPhone 8
Hi to all. I've called apple accessibility a number of times about this, but
they haven't been much help. I'd like to put some of the ringtones we all
recently got from Cliff, and some other ringtones that I have onto my iPhone 8.
However, I have no idea how to use Itunes. I have a windows7 64 bit machine
that is up to date as far as
windows7 goes. I also am running the latest version of Itunes. Can someone
send me directions, I'd even be willing to talk to them via phone if they
wished. I'd just like to learn how to do this myself so if I find a ringtone I
like, I could put it on my iPhone. Thanks for any help.
