Skype for Business compatibility with regular Skype

Greetings. We're new to Skype for Business having switched to Office 365 midway through 2017. Clients and vendors that used to be able to reach me via Skype are having difficulty connecting with us...

I am just about to get S4B, but I don't want it going anywhere near my regular Skype because I use the latter to stay in touch with friends and family in faraway places.

Can I run them simultaneously, or will I have to go through the rigmarole of having to manually logout of one to login to the other, please?

ScorpioPower Yes both the Skype for Business and Regular Skype Applications are two different application. We can keep both the applications separate. One for Business Use and other for Regular Personal Usage.

Unfortunately, Microsoft will not allow me to use both professionally. Normal Skype will not allow me to create an account with my 365 email. Because of this, I need to give out my personal Skype account to all of my work colleges.
