[QUOTE="jaylach, post: 1893396, member: 409116"] No, at least in the Big Sur version of Boot Camp it is just a boot manager. Hit the power button and hold the Option key and all devices that are considered bootable are displayed as a boot menu. No actual boot happens until a boot device is selected. I MAY be wrong but I believe that Boot Camp (actually boot camp assistant) just sets up the install of Windows, or whatever OS, to partition the drive and make the Windows, or other OS, partition bootable. LOL! I may be wrong as how I see things but then I've only gone Apple 6 weeks ago. I believe that once Windows is installed through Boot Camp it is then a matter of the firmware as to the actual boot menu being accessed via pressing the Option key while powering on. The boot menu comes up strictly through the firmware before any OS starts to load. Sorry if any of my terms are wrong but this is the best that I can do with the short time I've been using an Apple system... [/QUOTE]
