The only way I've been able to control which OS starts up is to restart from the Boot Camp control panel in OS X in either OS.

I've tried pressing the keys from before the startup chime and just after. Windows keyboards don't have an equals on the NumPad 10-key. I've tried hold down each of the two option keys and I've tried holding down both at once. Some Mac notebook computers have a group of keys with small numbers on. If a User Account Control dialog appears, click Yes. This is true whether I'm starting from the shut-down condition, or restarting. In Windows on your Mac, click in the right side of the taskbar, click the Boot Camp icon, then choose Boot Camp Control Panel. I'm finding that holding down the option key has no effect - the machine boots into whichever OS was last running. This displays icons for all available startup disks and lets you override the default setting for the startup disk that is in Startup Disk preferences (OS X) or the Boot Camp control panel (Windows), without changing that setting.ġ Restart your Mac and hold down the Option key until disk icons appear onscreen.Ģ Select the startup disk with the operating system you want to use, then click the arrow beneath the icon.

You can select which operating system to use during startup by holding down the Option key. Select an operating system during startup
