Hi, Yes, holding the option key on boot should bring up the Boot Picker, although it is not accessible with VoiceOver. This process has also changed for the M1 Macs, although if you’re using BootCamp, then you are not on an M1. Sometimes, the timing of holding down the option key is tricky. Try shutting down the Mac, waiting for about 10 seconds, then press the power button, then pressing the option key right away, even before the Startup chime sounds. Make sure to hold it through the Startup Chime and for at least five seconds after the chime has finished.
