Convert to a Threaded Fork

I have a GIOS Compact Pro with a threadless fork that I would like to replace with a threaded/quill stem set up

I read that converting the thread less is not a good idea because of thin walls of the steering tube. Is that correct? If I have to buy a new threadless fork, what dimensions are important to duplicate the height of the bar, length of the stem, and the headset. Thanks in advance.
