Instructions
Step 1
If you need to run several versions of Skype at the same time, then you have to dig a little in the command line or shortcut properties. The fact is that it is impossible to install two copies of the program at the same time, even if you use different versions for these purposes. But it is possible to start Skype at the same time twice, while in each running application you can log in with a new username.
Step 2
If you do not need to often launch two copies of Skype, then it is better to do this through the command line. Press Win + r and type "cmd" in the input line. Enter the "cd.." command twice to change to the root directory. Now sequentially enter the commands "cd program files", "cd skype" and "cd phone". You are in the directory containing the skype.exe file. Enter "skype.exe / secondary" in the command line to launch a second copy of Skype.
Step 3
If you plan to periodically run two Skype at the same time, then it is better to create an additional shortcut. Open the properties of the shortcut and in the line "working folder enter the following:" C: Program Files Skypephone / secondary ".
