Windows XP upgrade question

My home PC has Windows ME and I thin I want to upgrade it to Windows XP
Pro.

Question:

If I get the upgrade version as opposed to the full version, I am told
that I cannot do a 'clean' install.  IOW, if I want to clear the hard
drive and start over, I must buy the full version.  And Dell tells me
that this is indeed a change from prior versions of windows where you
could simply insert the old windows CD to prove ownership.

Is this right?
