I think you may be looking for to port (from Oxford Dictionaries):

Port

Computing
Transfer (Software) from one system or machine to another:
“the software can be ported to practically any platform ” However,

this dictionary definition doesn’t give a full picture. What is means by porting software more commonly to one system, and modifying it so it becomes compatible with another system? If your PC is running Windows 10, you can port your PlayStation games to Macs.

What is the easiest way to port features from one software to another? How does Google add new features to the popular platforms? In that case, it is known as backporting. Currently, kernel

is backported for older kernel. To use as backporter, Backports are generally required. Always download the latest stable release! This project started in 2007 and was originally known as compat-wireless, evolved to compat-drivers and was recently renamed simply as backports.

What are the device drivers that

could be added to the Linux kernel in this example?

To port is generally adopted if there are modifications being made to the software, rather than just swapping out the software for something else.

I’m working on migrating from system A to system B. With its

definition (from Oxford Dictionaries): migrate (With reference to computer users)

change, or cause to change from

one
system to another. : ” Customers are migrating from mainframe to client-server environments.
”
: ” Save time by efficiently migrating data to secondary storage systems” Computing
Transfer
(programs or hardware) from one system to another: ”
The system will allow users to migrate applications across environments. ”

To migrate may be used in certain places like to port, but unlike to port it isn’t necessarily implied that the software is being modified. Why is software swapped for something else?
