All Skype 7.4 users were offered to upgrade to Skype 8 or disconnect, the "classic" assembly being no longer supported.
There was no other option on the screen with the exception of the opportunity to find out more.
Redmond has been planning a transition to a newer version of Skype for a long time, but from the users' point of view, the new version is significantly inferior to the old version. For example, it does not have the Split View feature, which in the eighth assembly only affects Windows 10. Users of Windows 7 and Windows 8 / 8.1 are unclear.
Those who want to continue using Skype Classic are the only option – download and install Skype 7.36.0.101. This version is already unavailable on the developer's site and will have to search for third party sites.
This step is another clue that Windows 7 users will have to switch to Windows 10 sooner or later and that it's better to do it before. In mid-January 2020, Microsoft will cease to support the old operating system, which means the lack of patches and new features. Users will have to say goodbye to Skype and move on to other messengers. Today, they are more than enough. Problems arise except for those who use it for work or who do not want to change the established order.
Microsoft has promised to simplify the installation of Windows 10 or upgrade it from earlier versions of the operating system. After the April update, the system will issue more understandable error descriptions and application developers will be able to incorporate their messages for quick updates. All this will allow inexperienced users to upgrade their operating system effortlessly, while Redmond companies will reach the one billion active devices desired on the "dozen".
