[Wine] Which Linux system to download?

[Russ35]

Hey all,

I'm from England and recently all of the 6th form students at my school was given a laptop for studies, meaning I got one.

The thing is it's Linux so I'm having trouble opening a .exe

Thankfully I came across Wine but the thing is I'm not sure what Linux system the laptop runs on.

Here's a link to the laptop:

Hopefully someone can help, thanks :)
