My question is more along the lines of any cons to turning it on when it is currently off.  

Well one, is that if you turn it on and your boot drive is formatted with the standard MBR, then your system will no longer see it and will not boot.

Turning on TPM requires your Computer to be using UEFI and for your hard drive to be GPT.

Then theoretically, you should have no issues with windows11 assuming you have at least an eigth generation intel cpu. Not sure what the amd cpu requirement is.

Win 11 is targeted at the enterprise as its main selling point is better security. It won't run on a large number of installed Windows PCs, so its adoption period will be prolonged, especially considering the ongoing chip shortage.

Microsoft still has time to change its stance on PCs that are four years old plus. It has said that the hardware requirements could only be a soft floor where Win 11 will run but its use is not advised.

11:37 in video. This former Microsoft security expert doesn't think W11 will go live with the requirement for Secure Boot and TPM on, mandatory.

It will be ok to let us choose, yes.

I will keep TPM disabled for now. I converted all my partitions to GPT, but the Windows partition was already GPT. The tool gave an warning because not all of them were GPT. 

But I am not sure if I want to be an early adopter :), probably not.
