Hello. There was a need to put on a freshly purchased computer, which does not have a pre-installed OS, Windows. In the catalog of one of the major online stores, there was an OEM license for Windows 10 Home. It costs a couple thousand less than the boxed version.
The question arose: is it legal to put such a license on this computer and use it in a company, or will such a computer have to be sold under a license? Google search only confused more, unambiguous information was not found.
An additional question is whether, having bought such a product on a disk, it is possible to transfer it to a USB-drive or download it from the office. site image to download to a USB flash drive and then activate with a code from a purchased OEM?

You can use home in an organization.
Home is not suitable for many organizations, there are quite significant restrictions, for example, it cannot work in a domain.
OEM can only be purchased and installed by the PC manufacturer. Those. This item is only for sale together with PC.

You're right about the restrictions under the license agreement for regular OEM users. They really are, I throw the link , the main features of the OEM license are described there and compared with the analogue of the boxed version.
But in any case, for home use, you can safely purchase an OEM license from PC assemblers in the region of 1000 rubles, and Windows 10 Pro and this will be better than using pirated OS.
