How to Convert MP4 to MKV with High Quality on Mac or Windows?

Overview

I have two MP4 files stored on my computer and now I want to archive them in HD format. And my friend told me that MKV is a proper format for storing HD video. So now the question is how I can convert MP4 to MKV? Do I need help from some software or what?

For personal reasons, I prefer MKV format to MP4 format maybe due to the better video quality that MKV can provide or maybe my personal hobby. I do not get a MP4 to MKV converter installed on my computer. Can you recommend me one? Thanks for your advice.
