OEM vs retail license
An OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) license is the same license type pre-installed on new PCs from brands like Dell, HP, and Lenovo. It activates on one PC and is tied to that hardware, so it is not transferable to a different machine after activation. If you need a license you can move to a new PC later, choose a retail license instead.
