The way to choose startup options in M1 macs is different from intel macs.

Press and Hold the power button until you are presented with startup choices.

Recovery startup mode on silicon mac mini When I try to start up in recovery mode, the message only shows up on the screen for a fraction of a second so I don't know when to let go of the power button. Is there any other way to get into recovery mode?

Recovery mode on Mac with 3rd party or wireless keyboard Is there a way to instruct my Mac to restart in Recovery mode or Safe mode without relying on keyboard shortcuts? I’ve frequently come up against the frustrating problem of a wireless or 3rd party keyboard not being recognised on startup. It’s as if Apple has completely forgotten that not everyone uses a MacBook or Apple keyboard and mouse. Mac users for decades have had good reason to prefer a 3rd party option for these peripheral devices. Surely there could be a Utility to allow you to choose startup options BEFORE shutting down? Or an options tab next to the startup command in the Apple menu where you could select Recovery, Safe, Alternative Startup volume etc.? Please tell me I’m missing something!
