Think of wine as an emulator. It’s a program that runs in Linux that then runs Windows programs. Usually quite well. It’s all done without leaving Linux.
Dual boot is when you start the computer up you can either boot into Linux or Windows, both are options but they don’t run at the same time.

Keep in mind that Wine Is Not an Emulator. It implements many windows features but it’s incomplete. Be sure to check if whatever the professional software you’re using also works on Wine.
Or you could run Windows in an actual emulator (like Qemu). I remember it worked pretty well on 16GB of RAM.
