asked on Should I upgrade to the newest SKYPE
Should I upgrade to the newest SKYPE? The only reason I will is if the internals are better, better clearer communications, new useful features, etc. I've gotten calls from the clients saying that they got the new SKYPE and it messed up things for them. Than I have to get on and make it usable. I think it's stupid to arbitrarily change user interfaces. It has always pissed me off. There's still many older users who depend on these programs in their day to day life. Screwing around with interfaces makes more difficult for them. Having said this, is there a reasonable technical reason to upgrade. I ask since I've been getting messages on my current SKYPE about communications problems. I'm running Windows 10 Pro on a Optiplex XE2 desktop with two monitors, 32 GB of RAM, a 500 GB Samsung 850 SSD and I5-4570S CPU.
Thanks,

The interface has change, but it is entirely usable. Skype for Windows 10 (Microsoft Store) works fine and you can upgrade to it with no issue that I can see. I have been using it.

John,
Thanks for the pointing out the security bug. Since it's a problem with SKYPE update I disabled that in Services.
Thanks for all the suggestions.

You are very welcome and I was happy to help you with this.
Just a footnote: The classic version of Skype is fixed provided you keep it up to date...
