Hello juan dogg,

Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.

If you've updated to Windows 10 on a Mac with Boot Camp and you need to use certain keyboard shortcuts in a Windows application, try the alt key (called the option key in OS X) on the keyboard. Based on your example, you'd press Alt + V T M to enable a menu toolbar.

In addition to Boot Camp: About keyboards and key assignment for Microsoft Windows, see Mac keyboard shortcuts for more help with Mac keyboard shortcuts.

All the best.
