Strictly you cannot transfer an OEM licence to another pc. A retail licence may be freely transferred.

As Jackie Man says, re-imaging rights for end users are only available with installations of Windows from Volume License media. You build your image and you can re-deploy that image to all machines running Windows 10 Pro, OEM, VL, or Retail. Only OEMs can re-image OEM installs using appropriate tools.
If using MDT or WDS server, you can run a post imaging script to set or prompt for a new OEM product key.
