I actually misspoke earlier, so my apologies; you need a retail license if you want to transfer that license to other mobos. Those OEM licenses will still let you upgrade for free to Windows 10 and, hardware permitting, Windows 11 if you keep the mobo. I'm actually amazed Microsoft has de facto left that free upgrade program in place after they officially concluded it and even extended it to Windows 11. What other merchant lets you trade up products literally over a decade old for free no questions asked? Not many, I can tell you that.
