• This is in fact the OEM/System Builder version. It is an option to save yourself a little money, but I would dig a little further and make sure it is the right option for you.

• This product is an OEM version that will be tied with a digital license to the first computer that it is installed and activated on. Microsoft expects to provide no installation support for OEM products, so the cost is less than the full retail version.

• It's an OEM version. Only good for one install on one system. If you make a significant change to the system, say a new motherboard, you will likely have to purchase another copy of the OS. Been there, done that.

• The installation disc is included. With Windows 10 the software in the retail box, and in the OEM disc packaging, isn't actually different. The software is not tied in any way to a particular vendor's hardware. It comes with a license key, so you don't need to already have an OEM license key.
