Your moving from an Athlon system to a Pentium system.

I would do a format of just the 10 GB partition during the install (you should be able to do this from the XP install.)

I say format. Nothing like a clean install to speed up performance and increase reliability. Heck you probably have adware you didn't even know of on your computer anyways.
 
format.

re-installing might create some incompatibilities. formatting cleans off all your junk and any problems you were suffering.
