In the EU at least that would be illegal - you can't void an entire warranty, only relevant bits.. and since windows doesn't have a warranty anyway..

The canonical example is you can't void the warranty on a car engine because you changed the stereo. 'Doing x will void the warranty' is almost never the full story.

I am in the EU.

We were caught in a never ending circle of being sent between seller, manufacturer and Microsoft in order to have the Windows license returned.

I did end up installing a Linux on the machine but my friend got chewed by the seller when he took it in to have the card reader replaced.
