Looks good.

You won't be able to run Windows on WINE. You can only run most Windows programs on it, but not Windows itself. What you're looking for is an emulator--a program that let you install Linux (or other operative system) on a virtual environment and run it from there. A good choice is QEMU:

You can also do it the other way around and run Windows on Linux via QEMU, but since you say that you were lucky to install Linux once, I recommend you to keep Windows as your primary operative system until you become more experienced with Linux.
