I'm brand new to building PCs since I've always used prebuilt systems, so I have a pretty basic question. Do I need to buy a Windows 11 license right away, or can I somehow get it later?

You can actually download Windows 11 and run it without a license for a while. You can always purchase a license later when you're ready. Just keep in mind you might have some limitations without activation.
You can get Windows directly from Microsoft. It’ll run in an unactivated state for as long as you need, but you might want to check out some videos online on how to get a legit copy.
Yes, you will need to buy a Windows license eventually. It's required to get the full features and updates.
