Is this for real, I need a new operating system and would prefer a 64bit win 7 oem. But How do i know if my processor will support it?

Previously had a shitty win 8 bootleg copy that now shuts off my entire system at startup during "preparing automatic repair"

    No, it won't. A certificate of authenticity (whatever that is) is not a Windows Product Key.  You'd be paying $50 for a DVD with Windows 7 that was created for a Dell PC. It is supposed to be used only on a Dell PC but that is moot.

    The disc is real. The software is real. There is no product key. No product key, no Microsoft authentication.

    Field techs get these discs handed out to them like they were candy. The product keys for Dell PCs are on an authentic Microsoft product key label on the PC itself

    Any product key and label you get is used. More than likely this is a field tech who is removing, i.e. stealing, the Product Key labels from systems they have worked on and putting them together with the discs they get for free.

    As Grunty basically said, getting a legitimate version of Windows is about the product key, not the DVD itself.  If you buy ten copies of Windows 7, you can use the same DVD to install Windows on ten different computers so long as you use each product key exactly once.

    You know what will work?  This:
