Hi everyone,

Quick question: If I import my private keys from a wallet that does not support segwit into a segwit supported wallet, will I pay lower fees when transacting from the new segwit-supported wallet?

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Your SegWit-supporting wallet can make a SegWit transaction afterwards, and the fee for that is going to be lower.

The fee doesn't depend on the wallet, the fee depends on the address. You'll have to actually move the funds to a SegWit-address before you can use lower fees.
