+1 for a fresh install of any OS is better, statrting with a clean reg file so no hidden program links cause issues. Now for my 2 cents, if the XP is working fine no need to change. Upgrading to a new OS is very hardware dependant and being able to function at the preformance level expected. For Win 7 and above you should be using a Chip of a I3 or higher and use as much ram that you can put in 4GIG min.
I use an old P4 running XP and 3Gig of ram (XP does not use ram above 3Gig) and it runs LMS, and MP3Tag smooth as glass.
