just asking

A pc needs an operating system OFC but, older systems require 32 bit and modern systems require 64 bit , so when i see Micosoft sell Windows 10 and say : Windows 10 pro 32/64 bit.

when it says 32/64 , i just need to create a creation tool and from there choose 64 bit and just enter a product key later on ?

Yes, it only asks for a product key when you're installing, but you can skip that and activate Windows later (or leave it unactivated).

What is the system? Basically everything made in the last decade is 64-bit compatible.

The key will support both 32bit and 64bit.

Pretty much any desktop CPU since 2006 is 64bit. Only Atom CPUs and other mobile oriented stuff might be 32bit.
