Hello,
After searching on internet and the wiki, I ask it on the forum.
My company use Skype for Business as Telephony solution so I must use MS Office 2016.
Installing MS Office 2016 on wine do not work.
As I have a dual boot Debian and Windows 10, is it possible to use the MS Office version installed on my Windows Drive ?
Is it a good practice ?
Is it safe ?
Thanks,
Running applications natively installed on Windows.

See: WineHQ FAQ: 5.1 I have lots of applications already installed in Windows. How do I run them in Wine?
You need a 32-bit install of MS Office 2016, for starters.
You wouldn't run Office from the Windows drive, you'd copy all the installed office files over to a clean WINEPREFIX.
Then import all the installed Office registry keys.
Given how much hassle that process is to do right...
I'd try some of the AppDB workarounds first.
See: Microsoft Office (installer only) / 2016 (32-bit).
I think you also need working DX11 support - for Office 2016 - which means bleeding edge Mesa or the Nvidia proprietary drivers.
Plus Wine Development / Wine Staging 3.12.
