New attempt to post answer (without quoting):
I actually copied all partitions from bottom up. Don't know off memory what they were named, but it were all, despite of the target drive F:, which was the disk where the VHD(X) Files went.

OK, with all partitions copied, you should at least have a base to work on, assuming the other things mentioned above are considered and taken care of (like the locked-to-BIOS question). You will need to web-search and experiment. P2V is common among all virtualizers, and the same principles apply when moving an already-installed OS from one physical PC to another. There is not much else Virtualbox can do.
