   WINE does let you do this, and PlayOnLinux, which is a nicer front-end for retards.

   Don't run the installer just plug it in and mount it.
   It should show on the desktop.

   depending on the applications you might be better off setting up a vm in virtualbox
   The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

   Oh yeah. I forgot that was a thing. Thanks. My bad
   
   But I do want to run 3D Studio Max on it. 2004 Version R7. I hope it loads. I bought it when discreet owned it. A Canadian company that sold it to Autodesk. I don't 3D Max exist anymore. It's called Viz

    It's been more than 10 years since I fucked with Linux. Wasn't winex better for windows gaming? Something to do with directX libraries or something?

    I dunno, I tried using WINE for games a few years ago and it was a nightmare trying to get the GPU drivers to work properly. lately I have a windows desktop I treat like a games console and a more 'serious' lunix laptop.
    
    it's not even really the difficulty of getting everything working, it's the messy mix of open and proprietary code coming from 10 different sources that breaks every time one of them updates something
