There are some on-line conversion tools like Convertio that can get the job done without installing specific software. Keep in mind though, that those fonts will most likely never be entirely the same. Kerning problems and problems with minor details because splines are calculated differently will probably always crop up.

Are you familiar with https://fontforge.org/en-US/?
I've never used it and don't know anything about it but it's apparently a well regarded tool for doing font type conversions. It might be worth your while to look at it; maybe it's up to doing the job that you have there.

FontForge is also used as the back-end of many of those on-line conversion tools. It isn't all that bad, but like I said, I have seen some issues with font conversions. It's a bit like converting a Word document into a LibreOffice document. I've heard about Crossfont, but I know that TransType and FontLab's font editor are generally well-regarded in the industry to do font conversions. Those graphical types are very particular about their fonts. I think it's almost 25 years ago, but I followed a few lessons in Typography back then. Most of it I have since forgotten, but designing fonts is almost like some dark magic.
