Hello Christoper C Ward,

                                              Actually Linux does not support .exe format. The architecture does not support .exe files but still you can run the .exe files on Linux with the help of a utility. You can download a software called Wine Software and run it,now are are able to run .exe files even on Linux. You can download Wine Software from here https://www.winehq.org/
