    Trying to start my (p12) win10 VM, but am getting disk error. It says to hit the ctrl/alt/del keys to restart. What are the mac equivalent keys for this?

    Thanks

    The Mac / parallels equivalent to ctrl / alt / del is:

    Fn / option / cmd / del

    Hello,

    You may have switched newly to Mac from Windows environment. That's why you are having this problem. I was having the same problem when I switched to Mac.

    There is nothing to worry friend.

    The command equivalent to Ctrl Alt Del in Mac is Command Option and Esc.
    However you can make it pc friendly by switching Command key and Control key.

    Take help from this post http://www.howali.com/2017/04/ctrl-alt-delete-mac-force-quit-mac.html to make your Mac Pc friendly in terms of Ctrl Alt Del function.

    Thanks for sharing the info. Much appreciated.
    Manually assigning keyboard shortcuts to the virtual machine, as explained in this blog, and then using them can be an alternative. Not that it necessarily applies to you anymore, but just saying.
