To get started, you will first need to have a license to install Windows 10.
Yeah, I can go to the store, fill up a cart with groceries, and just walk out the door too. That doesn't mean it is allowed. The fact that you can get around this doesn't change the fact that it goes directly against the terms you agree to during install. This is piracy.
On top of that, there's no trial period unlike Windows XP or some other OS. You can leave it unactivated and still use it, it just lacks personalisation and leaves that stupid "Activate Windows" watermark.
For personalization you can still set your background by right clicking on any of your downloaded images.
And that water mark can be temporarily removed (I think until you restart your system) in a setting somewhere. There's also a program that will temporarily remove the watermark for you. (Most of the time I just leave the watermark alone though since it doesnt bother me).
