Skype is one of the most popular programs in the world due to the fact that it is free, provides unique features and is running on different operating systems (including PCs, smartphones, tablets, TVs, etc.). On this page you can find and download free of charge the Skype for different operating systems, without registration, phone confirmation or viruses.
Attention!
On the Internet, there are a lot of scams, which often create credible websites for downloading Skype, but instead of this they request money or your credentials. Be careful, never trust such sites. Always download software/files only from trusted sources. One of these sources is the official website www.skype.com. Nevertheless, I want to notice that on our blog you can also download Skype, as we constantly monitor Skype updates and upload official files on our server, thus users can download old versions anytime.
No malware
We guarantee that all versions stored on our server are genuine, they do not contain viruses or any modifications, and were downloaded only from the official site. This is very easy to make sure, by checking the authenticity of files (ie. validating digital signatures) or by comparing their hash sum with original ones.
Free of charge
As well as official website, on our website you can download the free Skype for different operating systems and different languages. The only difference, is that here you can download old versions, not only the latest.
Old versions
Sometimes, due to various reasons the latest version of Skype do not fit our needs. For such cases has been created a special page where users can find and download the desired Skype version. Thus, here you can download the free Skype for Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, iPhone and Blackberry. Of course, you can download setup file to your computer or any device suitable to you in order to install later the old version.

Grata.
+53), #Skype Classic is Skype without all the new junk that Microsoft has been adding lately.
Latest version of "Skype Classic" is: 7.40.0.104
"Skype Classic" is a download option on Skypes site, but you do not have Skype Classic listed on this page. A lot of people I know prefer Skype Classic because it is less buggy and a lot better looking. Microsoft's Skype takeover started off by removing P2P support and making Skype cloud based. Now they are trying to make Skype more like a social network then the VOIP/Messaging service it was made to be.
Go to the download page for skype at: https://www.skype.com/en/get-skype/
On the blue download button that says "Get Skype for Windows"... Select the arrow on the right side of the button and a dropdown menu/list will show and you will see "Skype Classic".
A direct link to the Skype Classic download is: https://go.skype.com/classic.skype
Also Skype Classic still receives updates as v. 7.x.x.x
PS: All the emoticons are supported in Skype Classic.

You are also missing:
- Skype for Linux DEB
- Skype for Linux RPM
+1207), # ↑As about the 7.x branch, the latest version is 7.40.0.151 and it has not been updated for a long time.
+53), # ↑Skype Classic is still it's own thing. Skype for Windows comes in multiple varients; 3 different programs.
Also, Classic Skype is at 7.40.0.104 I believe. Clicking update will state it's already at the latest version.
Straight of Skype's site:
"Skype 7.40.0.104 for Windows 7 and Windows 8 released October 30th, 2017."
Which isn't that long ago... Just over 3 months ago.
[Updated ]
Latest versions of Windows Skype is as follows:
released October 30th, 2017
- Skype 7.40.0.151 for Windows 10
- Skype 7.40.0.104 for Windows 7 and Windows 8
That's also directly off Skype.
+1207), # ↑As about version 7.40.0.151 I'm using it in Windows 7 and it works flawlessly. In addition, it says: “You already have the latest version of Skype installed”.
+53), # ↑As I stated before, Skype for Windows has 3 varients.
- Skype for Windows Desktop
- Skype Windows App
- Skype Classic for Windows Desktop
These are completely different programs.
All 3 are there own branches and all 3 are still being supported and updated.
As for v. 7.40.0.151... It is designed for Windows 10, not Windows 7 or 8. Skype 7.40.0.104 is the latest version for Windows 7 and 8.
You can get all this information directly from Skype.
+1207), # ↑1) Skype 8 is latest version of Skype for Windows Desktop. Exactly this version receives updates in normal mode as it was always for all versions.
2) Version 7.40.0.151 is the latest version of seventh branch (and it does not matter for which OS the fixes were released).
3) Skype 7 (both for macOS and for Windows) has not been updated for an unusually long time. Taking this into account, I can consider that it is abandoned (I hope that I'm wrong).
4) When a version is developed for a specific OS, it does not support other ones (for example, try to install 7.40.0.104 on Windows XP, or 7.36.0.150 on Windows 7).
5) Veterans say that the classic version is 3.8 or 4.2. Recruits, by "classic" means 6.16 (because it's deobfuscated) and 6.21 (because it's latest version that has old-school design).
6) When Skype 7 went live (more exactly, 6.21.85.104), people preferred the classic ones because, as they said, the New Skype looks like a "cemetery gallery" and bubble chats are awful.
7) The 8.9.0.1 was first public version of the new Skype that was compiled at October 26, 2017. There are no versions of the seventh branch compiled after this date.
8) A few years later, Skype 7 will no longer be supported, while the Skype 8 will become the classic.
-1), # ↑+1207), # ↑0), #+1207), # ↑+53), #The latest update to version seventh branch (Skype Classic) is:
v. 7.41.0.101
Part of my previous explanation:
"As for v. 7.40.0.151... It is designed for Windows 10, not Windows 7 or 8. Skype 7.40.0.104 is the latest version for Windows 7 and 8."
+1207), # ↑+53), # ↑Help > Check for Updates

Also... I know it will not receive the junk features that Microsoft is making for v8, but those are all horrible additions. Only updates it needs is security. Not junk features. The whole trying to make it a social network is how Microsoft is destroying Skype. I see users leave it all the time for alternative communication software for this reason.
+1207), # ↑By the way, I prefer the classic version and I'll use it until the last. I just hope that when it will be discontinued, the new version will become a worthy replacement.
