Using Windows on Your Mac

The following sections provide information about running Windows on a Macintosh
computer. If you’re not already familiar with how to use Windows, refer to the
documentation that came with your Windows software.

Using an Apple Keyboard with Windows

Boot Camp sets the keys on your Apple keyboard to emulate a standard PC keyboard.
This enables Control-Alt-Delete, Print Screen, and other common key commands to
work with Windows.

The following table tells you how to type PC key commands on an external Apple
Keyboard, Apple Wireless Keyboard, and Mac portable computer built-in keyboards. For
details, see: docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304270

keypad. To use these keys as a keypad, press the F6 key to engage Num Lock, or hold down the Fn key while you
