Pff, it's like holding power and volume up or down at the same time (to power on the device)

You can install custom roms from there, but I don't know if you install Windows.. Might want to Google that

 

EDIT: oh, this is a different type of bios in the picture.. Not just Android bios or whatever...

pretty sure most phones use fastboot for that sort of thing. It does have an atom so it could run windows i guess.

 

Depends how unlocked down they have the boot loader.
