Wine definitely goes beyond vista. (outside of the realm of audio, in
gaming, Lutris, and Steam's proton both use wine, and actually it is a
lot more reliable in running software these days. I use it a few modern
games - most if not all of which does require windows 10, and for a 3D
printer software that is specific to my 3D printer). 

You can run winecfg to switch your default wine prefix
(/home/<username>/.wine) to windows 10. It was defaulted to windows 7 on
mine. (I don't work with the default prefix much as I tend to use lutris
and  playonlinux to install software), That should fix that issue hopefully?
