White to play and win material

I found this move in a game I played yesterday. I'm still improving my chess, so I'm glad that I found this move in a 10 minutes game, even though I realized afterwards that I could have played this the previous move already.

Nxf6+ wins the black Queen.

Or Nb6+

That wins material too, but why take the Rook by playing Nb6+ when you can win the Queen by Nf6+ ?

Because Nb6+ also wins the Queen.

Nb6+, Kh8, Nxa8 or Nf6+, Kh8, Nxd7, Bxd7?

But I don't see a winning move, am I missing something?

There's no winning move, just win material.

Aaah, i read win material as in material to win, as to say a winning move.
