Default XP Pro Upgrade versus Clean Install

Hello All,
This is my first post in this forum. I run Win2K as my OS and have a dual boot with XP Pro. It's time to leave Win2K and start using XP and I'm torn between upgrading versus a clean install. While the upgrade will (likely) be easier and I won't have to reinstall all my applications, everything I have read says the clean install is a better choice (pay me now or pay me later). I would be interested in hearing the experiences of forum members who have done this before and receiving advice anyone may have to offer.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi welcome tto PCHF Fresh install is the best method then there is no rubbish left behind from an upgrade just use the transfer wizzard to get you stuff from 2K the fresh install windows and apps and transfer your data back

Hello madmatt2006,
Thanks for the reply. A clean install has been the consistent advice, so that's the way I'll go.
Thanks again,
