Anyone know if this will work?. I read some articles about this being a fake.

It is most certainly a clone, but people are allowed to make clones, its open source. The biggest concern would be the USB to Serial adapter, as long as it is supported by your OS your good, from what I can see it should be ok to at least Windows 8+ and probably upto windows 10 As stated, if it works on your machine, who cares. there is no hard and fast requirement to use the FTDI Chip or the Atmel 16U4 or any other for that matter, Some Arduinos don't even have a USB to Serial and rely on an external programmer. What are your concerns ?

It may be a clone but it looks like it should work. All the right parts as far as I can tell. The part you zoomed in on is a USB to serial conversion chip which is what you need there.

The original Arduinos use a different part but this should not keep it from working.
