Let me know, what kind of license you're considering so I can suggest the best option for transferring it across devices and whether ESD protection matters.

Technically only Retail licenses are permitted, but in reality, using a Microsoft account allows all licenses to transfer. ESD refers to Electro Static Discharge, or is there another meaning?

I think ESD keys aren't intended for consumer purchase, though it might be possible. I usually opt for OEM or retail keys since I haven't used ESD keys before.

Retail available, these items can be moved from OEM. Microsoft states they aren't transferable, but you can move them via a Microsoft account and connecting your current PC to the new one. ESD: I'm unfamiliar with this process; it might resemble OEM functionality.

ESD is completely adaptable. It's identical to BOX but without a physical box. ESD stands for "electronic software distribution." Essentially, when you purchase Windows 10 from Microsoft, you're acquiring ESD.
