Both are correct. We do use 'much' in the negative.

'I don't have much time' is natural English, but 'I have much time', though grammatically correct, sounds strange- we tend to use 'a lot of' in the positive.

Say:
Okay, now I get that

.
I don't think there is any
difference
between the two, practically speaking. (
Okey
is okay too.)

I don't know why, but I always write 'to' with one 'o', although I most of the time know when to use it with two 'o's.
