Any help? stupidly when i was installing windows 10 my keyboard and mouse wasn't connecting, i read to disconnect them from os x, stupidly i did that, although i later go the mouse n keyboard working for windows 10, but now i can't boot os x?

because the keyboard wont connect to os x when it boots for me to hold the option key? is there anyway around this? i don't have a usb keybaord so is there anyway i can get it to connect while on windows? i doubt it

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)

If your BC drivers are installed, can you use Control Panel -> System -> Bootcamp to switch to OS X. If you shutdown the Mac, it will search for a Keyboard/Mouse if there is not one paired. You can also use a USB Keyboard/Mouse, if available.
