A virtual machine can be created , it will use your /etc/nixos/configuration.nix to make a 'clone' of your system. Useful for testing new configurations.
nixos-rebuild build-vm
You will not be able to login to this virtual machine, as the passwords are not carried over to the virtual machine you build.
If you have a user called nixosvmtest for example, you can add
users.users.nixosvmtest.initialPassword = "test";
to your /etc/nixos/configuration.nix
you should now be able to login and test your system with this user and password.
