Rewrite the website URL or move the installation?

Hi /magento, i’m almost at the finish line and would like to go live with a new website.It will never be really finished, because the business is run by only my dad and so on. So I help where possible, but my knowledge is limited.

So the website is https://trofee.be and at the moment there is a redirect to a Magento installation in a subfolder /winkel (dutch for store). Now for the new one that is here https://trofee.be/front I would like that the URL doesnt show the /front/ part in the URL, just to keep it clean and have a fresh new start.

Or would it be to complicated and better to just move everything into the root of the server, or what are the best practices? I’ve read about the .htaccess rewrites but according to some this could give conflicts when updating, so I just want to get some advise on the topic.

Magento version 2.3.4-p2, because of the php72 limit of magento 1.As soon as we switch everything over the thing will get a big upgrade towards php8 and a newer version of magento.
