Three things come to mind:
1-it can be dangerous to jump onto anything in its first release(it's likely to have lots of issues to iron out)
2-if you are buying an "off the shelf" PC, that can be a bad option for Pro Tools. I would do one of three things here; buy a PC from a company that builds computers specifically for Pro Tools(like pro-tools-pc.com or sweetwater), build a PC according to known-working specs(for hardware AND software), or go with an Avid-approved PC(like the HP X820/840 line)
3-if you are certain the new PC is PT-compatible, then yes, I would ask the vendor to install Windows 10 Pro. Because of the timing here, you would almost certainly be able to upgrade to Win11 for free when its had some time to get updates to solve the initial bugs(which every OS has)
