Microsoft to cancel Skype Classic on November 1

Microsoft has been very excited about the release of its latest version of Skype. The application, which in Windows 10 has been largely incorporated into the operating system, has an older version that is obtained in the most traditional way of downloading / installing . Skype version 7 (also known as Skype Classic) has proven to be very popular with users.

Skype Classic (Skype7) will no longer be supported by Microsoft

With the removal and changes of the features of the new version 8, many users have been disappointed with the new version. So unpleasant, in fact, that Microsoft backed down from an earlier decision to end technical support earlier. Microsoft said they would continue to support version 7 until they had essentially "solved the problems."

However, after an update to their official blog page, Microsoft decided that they are going to end Skype 7 (Skype Classic).

When will support for Skype Classic end?

Microsoft has announced that starting on November 1, version 7 of Skype will no longer receive support, updates, or security solutions. So, yes or yes, users of this application will have to make the jump to Skype 8 even if they do not want to.

At the time of writing these lines, it is not clear if Skype 7 will continue to work from November 1, but without official support from Microsoft, people who continue to use it will do so at their own risk, something we do not recommend at all..
