Improve Wine compatibility with legal/valid install of Windows 10

Question

This is a fairly broad question that I am not even sure has an answer. But, my lack of technical experiences in this field renders me unable to improve upon.

I have a valid install of Windows that I can successfully install on my machine or virtual machine if needed. Since Wine runs on Windows DLL's, is it possible to import such DLL's and default Windows applications into Wine itself?

From what I have heard, Wine itself is different from the true Windows environment, at a kernel level, containing different unintentional bugs resulting in unexpected behavior, which may render this useless.

---

Basically, I ask, can I copy over the Windows directory to Wine and anything else I may need to for it to be functional, things such as the Registry. How would this be done?

Wine is not an emulator, the name Wine, literally stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator. Wine does not import Windows DLLs it only translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls. This is the reason some applications are supported and some applications are not supported

Wine translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls on-the-fly, eliminating the performance and memory penalties of other methods and allowing you to cleanly integrate Windows applications into your desktop

Wine is not actually a kernel.

This would not acomplish anything.
