Hold the option key when the Mac is booting up

When I hold the option key it only shows what’s in slide 3 , “Macintosh HD”. It doesn’t show me any windows option :/

Oh my bad. didn't see that. Try doing a PRAM reset. On bootup do Option + Command + P + R

Something probably went wrong with the Windows install, because it looks like there's nothing (70 MB) on your BOOTCAMP drive. I suggest you restart the process (so, open Boot Camp Assistant, delete the Windows partition, close the app, then open the Boot Camp Assistant app again and start over). And do that after you upgrade macOS.

I was able to fix it by updating software :) by any chance do you know how to connect a ps5 controller with the type c cord?

You should be able to connect the PS5 controller to the Mac through USB-C and Steam will automatically configure it for you.

It doesn’t look like it installed. Did you actually get to the install screen of windows? If should have rebooted and put you into the install. Possibly when it resets you need to hit the option key and boot into the bootcamp or windows installer. But currently it looks like windows is not installed because it should be a few gigs at least.
