1" threaded fork to 1" threadless fork

I have a Peugeot Competition 5000 from '98 or thereabouts and the threaded fork (stem and handlebar in reality) is giving me a headache, but it's got me thinking about bikes from that era. The Peugeot is fairly low-end but a good chunk of higher-endish bikes seem to have made use of 1" threadless forks... so could I save myself from a migraine by getting a 1" threadless headset and fork ? I've even seen people keep the threaded fork and add a 1"->1"1/8 shim but I'm not sure how safe that is ? I may have confused myself with the inch talk as I'm european but I hope I conveyed properly what my goal is
