I have windows on my iMac, can't acces OS X. I want windows 7 gone

I installed windows on my mac via bootcamp, when in windows in can't get back to my os x part. There us no evidence that there is a os x portion at all. I can't switch via controll panel, and there is nothing when I tipe in 'Bootcamp'. Since I installed windows on my mac, I haven't been able so acces my os x part at all. I have tried to restart my mac and hold alt, when i tried to set it that when I start up, it starts with running os x , the only startup option was 'windows 7'. I just want windows 7 gone. I only want my normal, os x, without any windows. The windows also doesn't pick up my wifi at all, I have no internet connection

iMac, Windows 7, Used to run OS X Yosemite.

1. Do you have a Bootcamp item in Windows Control Panel -> System? If yes, Boot Camp: Set the default operating system.

2. Power cycle your Mac and hold the Alt/Option key. What choices do you see?

I did not have bootcamp in my Control Panel, and when restarting, the alt key didn't change any thing on the screen. It only started normally to Windows.

I soved the problem a few hours after I had asked for help. Turns out I just needed to install the Bootcamp support files, that I had downloaded previously on a memory stick.

Thank you for all the help!
