How to move a mesh to another armature without losing weight painting?

I am new to Blender and I have an armature with a mesh which has weight painting. Now I need to move the mesh to another armature.

How can I move the mesh to the other armature and preserve the weight painting so that I won’t have to do it all over again? The second armature is identical to the first one with same bone names and same position. Does anybody know? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try this. Make sure your armatures are both in Rest Position mode.
