You can do a clean install with the Retail Upgrade version of Windows
XP Pro. You will need to have the original CD for your Windows 2000
(or another qualifying product such as Windows 95/98/Me) available to
insert briefly during the install process as proof of your eligibility
to use the upgrade version.
Good luck
