windows programs that i had installed on Zorin 8 but I can't seem to do that. must i have a version of windows installed also inorder to use windows programs in Zorin 9 ?
Thank you for your help

You can also right click them, go to properties and set wine as the default program to open the exe file, so next time you can just click on the exe file and it will run (rather than right-clicking it and selecting wine from the list).
