Fun fact: Lenovo sells some laptops without Windows license too. The amount saved will depend on the laptop and region. Unfortunately this isn't available for all laptops.

Compatibility image link
If you're just buying a laptop/desktop normally, you're paying this without realizing it.
In this case, it's 22.5% of the price.

What a shithole company.
