Are 'Could' and 'Would' both ok? As for the sentence, "I thought that I would make a great process." Could I use 'could' instead of 'would'? ("I thought that I Could make a great process.") Is there any difference in the meaning?

Yes. There is a subtle difference in meaning, like in Chinese... would = 会/要 and could = 可以.

It is kind of like saying your ability versus your determination. Would is like you will and could is like you can. “Would” and “could” are two English language words which are the past tense of the words “will” and “can.” “Would” and “could” are used for representing the past tense as well as in the present tense to express a request. They are used for other expressions also which will be discussed here.
