The Command key on the Mac keyboard equals the Windows key for the Microsoft Remote Desktop client. This is by design and we cannot change it. Thanks for your understanding. The Windows key on your PC keyboard maps to your Mac's Command key. When using a PC keyboard you would use windows key C to copy and windows key V to paste, etc. You can set universal keyboard shortcuts in System Preferences Keyboard Keyboard Shortcuts Application Shortcuts All Applications, you can enter menu values (Save, Copy, Paste.

You may feel difficult to use the keyboard when switching to Mac from Windows. The same problem happens if you are in a situation to use both Windows 10 and macOS computers. The situation is quite common that you may have MacBook for personal use and need to use Windows PC on office. Here is a list of Windows equivalent Mac keyboard shortcuts that will help you to get things done on both environments easily.

Windows Equivalent Mac Shortcuts

Unfortunately, some Windows equivalent shortcuts are not available in Mac. However, you can setup custom keyboard shortcuts in Mac for that.

I know this question has been asked before in a variety of ways. For past 2 days I've been struggling with this. I have a variety of issues with my iMac 8,1 I need to fix and simply have to enter Recovery Mode.


My problem is I don't have an Apple Keyboard. So using Windows USB keyboard. I've combed the forums and the internet and ready 'Command+R', 'Alt+R', on windows 'Command' is 'ALT', then sometimes 'Command' is 'Ctrl'. I've tried every dang combination after hearing the start up chime. I have done 'Restart' vs 'PowerDown + Press Button'. There is nothing I have not tried.
