of course preferred if this would be done automatically

gives an idea (and windows code), how to detect QEMU/VMWARE/virtual
PC/Virtual box, and possibly amy more.

basically:
get the 'manufacturer name' of the first hard disk.
check if the drive is named
{"VBOX HARDDRIVE",
"QEMU HARDDISK",
"VMWARE VIRTUAL IDE HARD DRIVE",
"VIRTUAL HD"
}
