It's not possible. A window is, well, a window. While a renderer is responsible for rendering/generating the image. The "insides" of a window usually consists of a renderer.

In this way, a window uses a renderer which should explain why it's not possible to convert a renderer to a window.

You cannot, they are different structures.

Anyway, you can create a SDL_Renderer for a given SDL_Window by means either of the SDL_CreateRenderer method or the SDL_CreateWindowAndRenderer method.
