quite different user interface which is very easy to use.   

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

In this screen you may click “Enter Windows” to continue boot to your Windows system 

normally and choose “BIOS Setup” to enter BIOS setup page to do some configurations, or click 
“Shutdown” to power off the computer. 

And when you click any of the available applications, you will enter Linpus Quick OS
