Windows 10 Dell XPS 13 Rest to factory settings (full wipe) - It asks me whether I want to enabe, remove, enable the TPM (which deletes all keys) or not (hit ESC) -- any advice?

I just got the laptop and I'm doing a reset cause i'm OCD. What do I do about the TPM?

My laptop: Dell XPS 13-9350 13.3-Inch High Performance Laptop (Intel Core i5-6200U Processor, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD, Windows 10)
