First, a word on the terminology. You have an IBM "Computer," not an
IBM CPU. The CPU is a chip inside the computer, on the motherboard,
and is almost certainly made by either Intel or AMD. IBM doesn't make
personal computer CPUs.

How to get into your BIOS depends, not on Windows, but on what
motherboard/BIOS you have. As a matter of fact, you have to access the
BIOS before Windows even starts to boot. One common way is to press
the Del key when you first power on, but that's not necessarily right
for your computer. Watch the screen carefully when you first boot;
there's often a message there telling you what to do. If not, check
your system documentation or check with your vendor.

Also look here: http://michaelstevenstech.com/bios_manufacturer.htm Or
just try the Del key. There's a good chance that's correct for you.

If your BIOS is in Chinese, that's the way it is. There won't be any
way to convert it to English.
