Question of The Day: How to select a startup volume
I’m receiving questions from the friends and families which I recently influenced to get a Mac. And I think it’s time to compile them here so they could just visit my site to get their Answer. If you have a better idea please feel free to comment with Answer.
Here’s a Question from Kristina
How do I reboot to Mac after failed windows set up through boot camp?
Windows set up won’t work and every time I restart the computer it’s stuck on the windows set up screen and I need to access my Mac. How do I go back to my Mac settings when the computer won’t show me any options? Are there any combinations of keys I can press to go back to how my computer was originally (Mac)? My goal now is not to set up Windows, I just want to get back to my Mac.
