It depends on the specific setup. Installing macOS on a Windows PC is generally not allowed unless you have the proper licensing or a special arrangement. Running a Mac OS on a personal-built computer is also typically restricted by the operating system it's running. Always check the terms of your hardware and software to ensure compliance.

No, removing a file from a current Mac doesn't affect the original copy.

It depends on your needs. If you own an OSX copy, you're allowed to use it however you like—just avoid sharing it. Generally, the tools I've seen for running OSX tend to be sluggish and not well-suited for Windows environments.

The main legal concern revolves around compliance with existing regulations and potential violations.

It doesn't match Apple's terms for using OS X on non-Apple devices. Whether that's legal or not is unclear, and opinions vary on its quality compared to a Mac. It's okay for casual use, but for professional purposes, a Mac is recommended. You'll face challenges with BIOS and OS updates, and support is mostly limited to online communities.
