Transfer weights from one mesh to another

Hi

 

What would be the best way of transferring weighted armature from one mesh to another? I’ve come across different suggestions on forums, but it’s just made me more unsure and confused. Copying and pasting the Skin modifier won’t work as the meshes are different. Different sizes/scales too. I came across the Skin Modifier, but that didn’t appear to do anything. And I also tried saving out an armature file…? The name and format escapes me… But that just gave me random flecks of weights across the mesh. 😕

 

I would ideally like to transfer the weights over if possible due to time issues. Plus, I find skinning a bit tedious and at times frustrating. One character has clothing and the other doesn’t, so I’d only need the weights from the character’s body itself.
