Hi harry, Yeah you don't need to hold the option key down,
I use bootcamp on my mac book air and when it boots in to windows 10 I use jaws as my screen reader and on the task bar or sys tray there is a boot camp option which when I click or enter on boot camp options open and then I up arrow to the start in mac os option is there so I enter twice and the machine starts up in to the Mac OS, To restart into my windows machine I go into system preferences and under start menu I select bootcamp and the restart and then it restarts into windows, No having to use Option key or not deal with vo or jaws, I always have a screen reader talking to me. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Harry Bell Sent: Saturday, 10 June 2017 8:45 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Migrating from VMWare Fusion to Bootcamp I have installed Windows 10 in bootcamp on my Mac Mini so I hold down the OPTION Key as it boots up, then I get a screen where the left icon is MacOS with an arrow under it and I have to arrow right once to select Windows. There is no voiceover available at this point but now I know what to do I no longer need help. If I don't hold down Option, it boots into Windows which is puzzling but not important.
