Procreate doesn't create any vector-based artwork. You can export layered Photoshop PSD files out of Procreate, as well as several other pixel based formats (like PNG, TIFF, etc) to place in Illustrator. I personally would only use a Procreate sketch within Illustrator as a source image for hand-tracing clean vector artwork.

Do you know if there's a windows alternative to procreate to do sketches or
is it best to just sketch in illustrator?

Fresco is available for Windows: https://helpx.adobe.com/fresco/get-started.html

 

Personally I don't like sketching in Illustrator that much. Exception: on the iPad. The Illustrator pencil on the iPad is great. Biut Fresco is a nice thing as well. And: it can also do vector paths and also export them.

I would assume that you can export several file format out of Procreate. It might even work as a PSD. If nothing else works, JPG should be there. Then you can place it in Illustrator. As far as I know, Procreate cannot output any vector artwork.
