OEM key can only be used on the first motherboard you use it on (ie not valid for any other motherboard should you decide to upgrade to a different motherboard at some time in the future). That's why it's cheaper than non-OEM key, it can't be transferred to a different system.

another question can you transfer its installation on another storage... example, I primarily installed it in my hdd then after some time I bought a ssd and I want to transfer it to ssd.. is it possible and how?

From one drive to another in the same system is no problem.
A couple of ways to do it.

OEM or Retail?
With Win 10, the differences are basically nothing. You can indeed move that license to different hardware.
