The problem is that iOS 10.0.1 requires iTunes 12.5.1, but you are correct that iTunes 12.1.3 is the most up-to-date version that supported Windows Vista. It is probably best not to upgrade the iPhone until you have a PC running Windows 7 or higher or a Mac that can run recent versions of iTunes. You could upgrade via WiFi, but your old iTunes version would be less than ideal (see Re: Help with iTunes, iOS 10.0.1 on 32 bit machine).
Could I ask you a question? Have you had any difficulty backing up or syncing your iPhone 5s running iOS 9.3.5 using iTunes 12.1.3? We have some community members who say that has not been possible since iOS 9.0 or 9.1, but I doubt that any of the them actually have Vista PCs these days.
