changed paging file to flash drive Windows 10

Hi,
I have switched the paging file to a flash drive, in order to extend the life of my SSD. It seems to work alright, but I keep getting a notification saying that Windows has created a temporary paging file. I see instructions on the net on how to disable this warning, but I'm not sure I should ignore it.

USB isn't immediately active in Windows until after boot, and its looking for a paging file. So it's creating one automatically.

You don't need to worry about moving the paging file off your SSD to extend its life. It won't make a difference. Just set your paging file to 1GB in size and be done with it.
