Shortcut to shut down

I use a windows keyboard for my Mac, but nothing happens when I press ctrl alt win and f12.Are this not the keys for control option command and eject? And if they are, why is it not working?

Mac mini, macOS 12.6

In any case, I don't believe a Windows keyboard has an eject key equivalent.
