Some games let you earn coins by installing some trial software. I don't want to install on my main PC but install just on a Virtual PC . But sometimes some trial software installation didn't give the coins. Besides the possibility that the trail didn't honor their promise, could it be that they detect it is a Virtual PC and not give it? Can you make a Virtual PC not identifiable as a VPC?

There are a few ways to detect virtual machines.
Check out: Detect if your program is running inside a Virtual Machine.

It is possible to detect a virtual machine - it doesn't matter if you run Virtual PC or VMware. However, I don't think it is the issue in this particular case, since many people use softwares in a virtual machine. I think it's normal, not an anomaly to detect.
