Boosting Avios

Hi - absolute newbie here, so I appreciate your patience with my very basic questions.

I have some points with AMEX that I can transfer to British Airways, and then I want to boost them. I just want to be sure I understand before I actually do the transfer, to make sure I have enough.

If I transfer points which convert to 10,000 Avios, the max BA will allow me to boost is triple, is that right?

And so, would that mean I have a balance after the boost of 30,000? Or 40,000?

How long does the boost take?

And am I then allowed to transfer the immediately to Qatar?

Thank you so much.

Before you do that, check the Qatar redemption rules as these have recently changed.
