thanx mate but that help if the earlier versions of skype. the latest version doesn't have those options

If you prefer the old Desktop Skype, I put an installer link in post 10. Will give you this legacy look:

I have tried both of the above ways m8 and I still get no contacts. all I get are brackets and nothing in them..

Maybe you gotta sync all that stuff first...

The installer sends me to the store app download page.

I redid the link....it should work now.

I agree with 'Edwin', this link doesn't work. I have used this a few times when my Classic Skype says there's a newer version. You download version 8 and when you try to install, just tells you to go to the Store which downloads the v12 app that a lot don't like. I can't remember if I had to run compatibility but I don't think I did. The Classic Skype msi installer is in post 10. Cheers.

On page Download Skype | Free calls | Chat app you need to select Tablet to get download button for the latest Win32 / desktop version of Skype:



Selecting Desktop, the button takes you to Store for UWP Skype app instead.

YES!



(Edge broweser in build 17093, clicking button Get classic Skype for Windows tablet starts downloading file SkypeSetupFull.exe)

Still gives me the aforementioned SkypeSetupFull.exe v7.40.0.104,

not the Enhanced version 8.13.0.3, (now 8.15.0.4)…
