If I get SSD later how hard is it to move the OS onto it?

Easy, - install OS on the SSD and just remove it from the HDD

i think he meant moving without fresh installing it

with tools like acronis you could do that

nope

I want the monitor for CSGO, I need the outlet thing as I don't have any means to get wifi to my computer, because I don't have any way to get ethernet to my room. I also heard that it is risky getting an OS from reddit as it could break on you.
