You should download VirtualBox or VMWare, after that I'd suggest you to download Kali Linux and ebooks about it.

If you want to turn your PC into a portable "hacking station" I would recommend using Kali Linux, You would need to install all the Hacking Tools on windows.

Check out anonymity guides. Use encryption. Use a VPN 24/7.

Should I remove my OS and use Kali Llinux OS ?

Not the most recommended use. You could always just use VMWare to have Kali run on a virtual machine on your computer. If you really want to, you're more than welcome to get rid of the windows partition and run your computer completely off of Kali, but I would probably recommend using the VM method.

Kali is an offense operating system. So, no.
I would recommend using Debian as your main operating system. You might need to get an image including firmware. google it up and you will find it.

I would suggest dual booting an operating system and making a partition dedicated for your secondary OS on top of windows. That way if you decide not to be so notice you can boot up windows no problem, but for hacking you can just boot up your hacking OS. Search up the term "How do I dual boot "insert your OS here" using Windows" or something like that and hopefully there will be guides for each step.

Dual booting is the way to go IMO,because I had really big problems with Virtual Machines.They would either crash randomly or lag as hell.If you don't need the other OS you can just get rid of it,and use Kali Linux.It's easy to install and to see how to dual boot search on google "Kali linux dual booting with windows 7/8/10 or whatever it is".

Just use a virtual machine. You may need Windows later on. Remember Kali Linux doesn't possess any good usage as a main OS.
