This will only work if you haven't deleted the contents of your old drive, of course.

How to transfer your old Skype logs?

1. Close your Skype application. (click Quit, don't just close the window, otherwise it's still running in the background)

2. Go to your old OS primary drive to access your old Skype conversation history. (Let's assume that C is your new primary drive for your new OS and D is your old OS primary drive because that's the most common scenario):

D:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\SkypePM

D:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Skype

3. Copy these over to your new Skype logs folder (the same path, but with a different drive):

   C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\SkypePM

   C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Skype

4. Done!

WARNING:

If you copy over the old Skype log files into the new folder then you're also erasing the existing conversations you have on your new Skype installation.

Unfortunately, there's no way to merge the old and the new conversation history. Best do this on your fresh installation before you have any conversations.
