They can't both be 8 bit if you get that message. You get this if you're pasting a 16 bit file into an 8 bit file or vice versa.

 

Not that it matters much. As long as you're aware of bit depths of the files and the implications of converting down to 8 bit - in other words, you know what you're doing - you can just ignore it. It's not a "warning", just information.

As you don’t seem to provide meaningful information (not even the text of the »warning«) that is impossible to tell. 

Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, …) visible?
