is it possible with a windows oem license that came with the laptop?

Well, since I've never had a W11 OEM, I am not 100% sure you can acomplish this, but doing a cursory search it seems that you can:

looks like it only works if you upgraded from win10.

this laptop came w win11 by default.

If you really want to go to Windows 10 might be able to do it with Windows 10 ltsc. Activate it with MAS and should be good seeing as you don't need to be logged into a Microsoft account for it to keep getting security updates unlike what is being offered to Windows 10 Pro and below that needs a Microsoft account to be logged in to first be able to extend support and to stay logged in.

what's MAS?

Just an activation script that is on github and lot of people have used to activate Windows.
