top set at the very start of tournament facing overbet AI

It's the very start of the main event don't have any idea of this player at all.

I'm very confidient of sitting ahead on the flop and not too worried when he cbet the turn but that all changed when he goes all in.

QQ i'm thinking would have reraised preflop
Whilst the board does have a selection of two pair combos my AA does limit his top two pair combos and question whether or not he'd do a shove with hands like QJ. I would limit him to JJ or K10.

Do I preserve my chip stack and fold or sigh call?

    Easy call as played. Your getting close to the price even if he exclusively has straights with a board pair, and add in the fact you get a bounty when you do improve means we can never fold. If we don't feel comfortable playing for stacks we should not raise the turn. I'm not sure what buy in this tournament is but would say in general many players will play T9 as a call on the flop here so KT is the most realistic hand that beats us. Given we can sometimes get the chips in with him drawing dead (would not surprise me if he played QJ, AJ etc like this) I would be calling and feeling moderately good about it, vs a player I do not recognise. If we are behind its just a cooler.

    The tournament itself was the sharp shooter.

    I did question the decision to raise myself afterwards. If it's QQ or JJ then raise with intent to go all in was certain butbeing top set perhaps I should have just made the call, If he's got something strong I assume he'll be the river and the times he's not strong i'm thinking he'll fold.

    Being OOP didn't help.

    I agree with Groggy, easy call as played.

    I think opponent has QJ or other two pair hands enough of the time rather than specifically having K10. Also he could have pair and a draw type hands like KQhh. Raise folding the turn seems really bad. Either flat or call it off. You have turned top set into a bluff. Even if opponent does have K10 we still have outs whereas at times our opponent can be dead.
