Can I disable the Windows 10 version? I do not want to make it start automatically
Two things:

1. Yes you can uninstall Windows 10 Skype.  Start, Settings, Apps, and scroll down for Skype.  There will (may be) two:  Skype and Skype version 8.37.  The first is Windows 10, the second is Desktop. Click on the Windows 10 Skype and select Uninstall.

Beware that the Store may try reinstalling it, so in that event, you just Hide it. It will not bother you.

2. Desktop Skype may go away at some point.
Thanks John.

Is Skype able to join any Skype for Business meeting? Or should I download other software?

Where can I download the Skype Meeting web app? Are there any official website to download this?

I should note that I participate in Microsoft MVP Skype calls. They use Skype for Business, I use Skype Personal.
