We are being taught xv6 in our course. Currently we use to login to linux server of our school using putty in windows.

There we make changes in source of xv6 (using vim), then compile and run it in qemu simply

make clean
make
make qemu-nox

It is not always possible to connect to their servers therefore I want to be able to compile and run xv6 withing windows (in some emulator obviously).

What emulator I can use for above kind work? (edit code, compile and run) and how?

Well, there are reasonable instructions on how to construct environment for building and using XV6 under Windows in the site http://www.cs.mta.ac.il/~carmi/Teaching/OS.xv6/index.html. The emulator they are using for actually running it is Bochs.
