configure: error: no suitable flex found. Please install the 'flex' package.

sudo make && sudo make install
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

Did you perform:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

To install flex:

sudo apt install build-essential

...I believe. But you can try

sudo apt install flex

otherwise.

Let's throw that guide in the trash can, shall we?

Apt key add:

wget -O - https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key | sudo apt-key add -

Repository add

sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ focal main'

Ensure we can get all those dependencies that were troubling you...

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cybermax-dexter/sdl2-backport

Install this stubborn beast:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

Thank you @Michel for bringing this topic to me :v:

wine --version
wine-6.0.2
Dude it's installed but I cannot find the software in Zorin Menu

Just move toward installing Adobe - the system will recognize the installer and reference Wine.

Trying bro @Aravisian

Is it giving an error?

That is normal - proceed.
It will probably want to install Gecko and other stuff, too.

Same issue dude @Michel said to try in lutris but that also not working

This is very odd... Wine 6 definitely holds the Win 10 Identifier...
Perhaps @michel can help you more. It is now after 4am here...

You can select in lutris which windows version you want to use. When you added the program you get a play button and another button on the right. Click on the right one and select configure wine. Then add the programs exe and select which windows version you want to use.

It is possible the application need net frameworks or vcredit or anything else. I would advice to install those as well.

Some programs dont work sadly, i tried to install the windows version of nvidia (just to test) and they do check if windows is installed or not.
