    To convert a legacy bitcoin address to a segwit address, you can use a wallet that supports segwit addresses. Simply create a new segwit address in your wallet and transfer your funds from the legacy address to the new segwit address. This will allow you to take advantage of the lower transaction fees and increased scalability offered by segwit addresses.
