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

I think the poster was asking, is it possible to convert a virtual machine into a Boot Camp partition. I didn't hear that question answered anywhere in the subsequent posts. As far as I know you can convert a Boot Camp to a VM but I don't know if it works the other way around. Sent from my

Hi, The Option key is a temporary path to various startup options, whereas going into System Prefs, Startup Disk and selecting the Mac makes it the default option. To start up in Windows, you just go back to Startup Disk and choose the BootCamp partition with Windows. You'll likely need to
