1. Turn on your Mac and continue to press and hold the power button as your Mac starts up.
2. Release the power button when you see the startup options screen, which shows your startup disks and a gear icon labeled Options.
3. From this window you can start up from a different disk, start up in safe mode, use macOS Recovery, and more.

First, be sure the Mini is powered off. A restart won't work.

Then, press AND HOLD the power button and keep holding it in UNTIL you see "loading startup options".

Then you can let go. Wait for the startup options screen, and from there you can boot from another drive, go to recovery, etc.
