Convert MD5 password to SHA-512?

Hi,

Is it possible to convert MD5 passwords to SHA-512?
I'm about to migrate an old slackware server to Debian, then I noticed that they don't use same encryption method.

I'm aware that I can change the encryption method in Debian to MD5, but as far as I understand SHA-512 is more secure, therefore I would like to convert if it's possible.

Thanks in advance!
