  1. Mac owners often find that the smaller, compact version of the Apple keyboard is counter-productive and opt to use generic keyboards that have a dedicated Number pad, and Home, End, etc., keys. Apple does make larger keyboards but this is a cheaper option if you don't feel like spending too much money on hardware.
  2. Mac keyboards have Option and Command keys where standard PC keyboards have Alt and Windows keys. The keyboards are otherwise pretty similar, but new Mac users will need to understand these different keys. Apple's Mac keyboards actually do have a Control (Ctrl) key, but the Control key doesn't function like the Control key on Windows.

Copy that, even if you search you will also here 'ALT' key and 'CTRL' key instead. I will say to get the 'boot' menu 'Alt' works which would suggest it is the 'Command' key. Regardless, I tried 'Windows' + 'R'. I tried with restart, with shutdown then power button, holding before chime, holding after chime, holding till Apple Logo/animation.
