I bought that before doing any research think it will work? thanks!

it doesn't give any indication, as to it's chip-set,
so, it will be a gamble as to if it will work on anything than the Windows System.

"If the item is defect when you receive it, please return it for a replacement or money back".
therefore - give it a try out & test out their Return Policy, should it not work out.

What happens when you plug it in and try it?

According to this link, https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Portable-3 ... 2336616727 ,your USB Wifi adapter is likely using RTL 8192(Realtek) Wireless adapter card. If so, you likely need to apply a fix to get it working in Linux.

To confirm this, run a Live LM USB/DVD and check the Terminal output for inxi -Fxz with the USB Wifi adapter plugged in.
