View multiple workbooks
Open all the workbooks that you want to view.
On the Window menu, click Arrange.

You're right the previous info was accidentally for Mac.
I rummaged around in Microsoft and in internet as far as possible and didn't find anything concrete in this regard.
This usually means two things.a) It is not possible.
or
b) Nobody has been interested in whether there is such a possibility.
My last information that is a bit relevant to the topic, unfortunately I can't help anymore.https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/office/troubleshoot/excel/force-excel-to-open-new-instance
I hope that someone else here in the forum can help you more

Ps. You said that your office version has no "window menu".
Maybe you could insert a picture with your version of Excel. Maybe we'll get on like this.
