I am currently using Beam + 2x Sonos One + Sub with my TV.
My computer desk is located behind my couch, so my 2x Sonos One are actually placed where one typically would locate PC speakers.
If I were to upgrade my 2x Sonos One to 2x Era 100, would it be possible to switch between PC and TV?
I have from the information online found out that this could be tricky.

Unless you installed a switch, and your PC generated an ARC signal, this would be difficult/impossible.
When used as surrounds, the line in/bluetooth on the Era 100s is turned off. You’d need to set up the speakers as a ‘new’ system every time you switch between PC use, and surround use, connected to the Beam.
One option could be to run the PC sound through the TV set, which would require the TV to be on as the same time as the PC. I’m not overly fond of this idea, but it should work, if your PC can send a normal HDMI signal to the tv set.
The simple fact is Sonos doesn’t make speakers designed for connection to a PC.
