I guess the concern there is that you've made a bootable disk for bare
metal too and you just might accidentally boot that image at some point.
Regardless, that's what you' need to do given the procedure you've
followed.  If you want to make it non-bootable on bare metal, then make one
big partition on the SSD assign that to the VM and redo your clone.  Note
that while it's theoretically possible to boot a disk on both bare metal
and in a VM, it's about as convenient and dicey as moving a disk from one
physical system to another and hoping that Windows has all the right
drivers and doesn't ask for re-activation.
