I bought the HP 15s fc0476AU in the previous week. And I have discharged it only once and recharged it for the second time. The issue is that iam going for my exams to another city where I can't take my laptop. So for a month my laptop is going to be shut down without being used. Is it okay for a new laptop to be stored like that. Because I'm concerned about any damage it might cause to my laptop's battery and software. Will it cause any issues to the new laptop. 

Also I have charged it fully to 100% and the battery is not removable.

Li-Ion batteries die if they stay unused for a long time at close to 0%. Consider that there is self discharge too. So better use the laptop at least once a month to extend the battery life. Charge-discharge-charge is recommended if you have the time to do it.
