A pagefile is theoretically just a temporary file, and it should get
overwritten everytime the system restarts. However, you'll have to be
careful if you put the system into hibernate mode rather than a complete
shutdown, as the pagefile will get locked down and may be unusable until
you go back into previous OS and shut it down completely.
