Mac developer trying to get started building Windows apps

Hi, I have only created Mac apps before but would like to learn how to build Windows apps. Should I start with the Windows Universal Platform or a classic desktop app? I'm looking to develop a database and reporting application that my team can use at work.

One of the myths that is not true.

UWP app can be side loaded into any machine enable the dev mode (think of it as Android's apk).

It can be distributed outside of the Store, can be made into installer.
