Move data from one table to another

Trying to copy data from table one (name) to table two (n_system).
Field name.co_id to n_system.ultimate_id where name.id = n_system.id.
insert n_system (id, ultimate_id)
SELECT id, co_id FROM name
where name.id = n_system.id
Error message
Server: Msg 107, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
The column prefix 'n_system' does not match with a table name or alias
name used in the query.Use this format
insert into tabletwo select field1, field2 from tableone

that context. You need specify something, for example a constant
where name.id = 123
