If you already have it, the license was already paid by HP. If your point is simply to not *accept* the license on loading up the computer, that's easy. You can get a GNU/Linux install live USB and boot off of that directly and erase Windows so it will never even run the first time.
Someone else may know more than me on this, but I do vaguely recall that there's possibly some way to demand a refund from Microsoft when you prove that you never used or accepted the Windows license. I'd clarify that right away. But if it may not be possible or practical.
