it's a factor indeed, but not that big one
most of the ranking websites have SSL because it's easily installed and one of the basics for SEO,
that doesn't mean you can't rank with http only website or you gonna rank much better with the https version

ofc, changing will improve the SEO and give better UX (as many users rather use https website, just to see that green lock over there)
you'll be impacted by a little drop within the first days (up to 1 week) usually, then it will bounce back to where it was (or a little better)

keep us updated :)
 
Yes, it's one of the ranking factors but not the only one. As per my experience, it's different for different niches. You just have to look at your niche and your competitors.
 
Browsers like Chrome warn users prior to visiting pages without SSL
People tend to get freaked out and steer away
 
Having SSL can slightly help with SEO, but not as much as backlinks, content quality and relevance.
 
even if your site doesn't have a checkout page, login pages, or any financial or sensitive personal information, you can still get SEO benefits by installing an SSL Certificate on your site.
 
SSL is really important in ranking
Chrome would warn users visiting a website without SSL
