Move windows 10 pro license from virtual machine to physical machine.

Windows 10 Pro virtual machine

Hello.

First, sorry if you cannot understand everything, english is not my first language, but I'm really trying my best.

So my question is basically if I purchase Windows 10 Pro, I will get access to

And I was wondering If I could use this virtual machine as a mac because I want to develop iOS Apps with Visual Studio and Xamarin and

you have to own an Apple Mac in order to debug your code. So can I use this virtual machine in order to "create" a virtual Apple Mac operating system and start writing iOS Apps with Xamarin and Visual Studio on my PC?

Thanks for any answers.

Best regards,

Niklas
