Windows 7 home premium is what you want. It should be labeled for new installation, not upgrade. May be hard to find now, as they are selling windows 10.
There is a way to use an upgrade version, but it is not pleasant to do. I can tell you more if you get stuck there.
Only way to tell if the copy is genuine is to look closely at the holograps and label on the packaging. If the holograph does not look real, don't buy.
Libre Office is a good free alternate to MS Office. Unless you are a heavy user it should handle all your needs. Some differences in complicated spread sheets, and in document formatting.
I am not sure on authentication, by MS seems to know if you are installing on the same machine. I just did three clean installs on the same machine in two days,and there was no problem. It seems that after some months the authentication server drops old details and you could reinstall on a different machine.
If all you can find is a Windows 7 new install disk, not OEM, that had been previously used, but is no longer in use give it a try. If it is a genuine copy and authenticates you should be good.
