Windows 10: New SSD optimization and leaving free space at end

I just installed a new 1000GB ssd in my laptop (only drive) and it's working great. I am guessing this is where I should ask questions about optimization.

Based on what I read on the web I have

• Disabled indexing on all drives
• disabled hibernate (powercfg -h off)
• checked that trim is enabled
• SATA controller is in AHCI mode in Device manager
• disabled superfetch

I hope that is all OK. But I have some questions.

• I was advised to modify my paging file. So I set it at a minimum of 400MB and max of 600MB. Is that reasonable?
• I read that I should leave some free space at the end of the SSD. But the entire drive was formatted when I cloned my previous drive. So, using the mini-tool I created a unallocated partition at the end of the drive, but it is formatted. Is that OK? Should it be unformatted and if so how do I unformat it?
  
  
  
• Should I leave "optimization" on a weekly basis?

Anything else I should do?
Thanks.

Optimize SSD


Since I've installed a SSD, When I run Optimize it says never run-needs optimization. It will never run on it. Any suggestions?
