This is exactly what I've done with it so far, haha.

Sorry, I'm completely out of touch with Bitcoin by now. In the beginning there was not much info and everything was low risk anyways. Nowadays there is so much noise and I'm never sure what to trust.
I think you can also import them in "light" wallets like Electrum. That way you don't have to download the whole blockchain. You may be leaking the information that somebody with your IP address has Bitcoins, though.

When you say bitcoin-core, you mean the client I can get from https://bitcoincore.org?
If I understand the instructions correctly I should enable pruning and need to download and store about 6 GiB, but that's it.

Sounds good...
