can I get to the recovery mode with windows key board ?

Hi, I have a mac mini that stuck on the booting screen and when continuing to hold on the power button never takes me to the recovery mode. Is there any other suggestions I can do knowing that I have a windows key board?

Is this an Intel Mac, or an Apple silicon Mac?


A Windows wired keyboard will work with a Mac, yes.


If your Mac doesn't turn on - Apple Support


If your Mac doesn't start up all the way - Apple Support


If it’s an Intel processor, I’d try the SMC and NVRAM resets.
