If $A - B \succ 0$, is $AB^{-1} -I \succeq 0$?

Let matrices $A, B \in \Bbb C^{n \times n}$ be Hermitian, and $A - B \succeq 0$. Is $A B^{-1} - I \succeq 0$? If so, why?

What about the positive definite case? ($A - B \succ 0$)

That's not true. I'm assuming $A -B \succeq 0$ means $A-B$ is Hermitian positive semi-definite (and definite for $A-B \succ 0)$. Take $A=I_2$, $B=\begin{pmatrix} 0.5 & 0 \\\\ 0 & -2 \end{pmatrix}$.
