You can't, windows phone 7 devices cant be upgraded to 8.x or onward, windows phone 8 moved to a new kernal, and as a result pre wp 8 devices couldn't be updated

Microsoft discontinued Skype for Windows Phone 7.x several months ago.

They didn't ask how to update skype for 7.8.. they asked how to update their phone's software to WP 8.X...

There was a Skype for WP7.x at one time. Microsoft pulled it.
