subject: Running a windows 7 firmw

I'd like to try running a firmware updater for a USB hard drive enclosure.
Supposedly TRIM can be enabled via the updater, but it requires Windows 7.
The host is an 8GB Pi4 running 32bit RaspiOS. The updater is at
https://www.sabrent.com/download/ec-uasp-update/
It isn't entirely clear the updater is needed, but running it seems prudent.

I've tried WINE, but it reports BAD FORMAT, I gather the result of the
updater being written for i386 architechture.

Is there any other way to proceed? I don't own any modern i386 hardware,
nor a Win7 license and don't realy want to buy either. I do have an old
Xeon box, but it probably doesn't have enough RAM to install Windows 7.

The WINE version installed using apt reports
 wine --version
wine-4.0 (Raspbian 4.0-2)

Might a later version of WINE help, if it can be found and made to run on
the Pi4?

Thanks for reading!
