Hello! I've upgraded BIOS to 2.11 and installed Windows 10 on my Acer V3-571G. It works good but it would work even better if I'd have more RAM. I installed CPU-Z and here's my specification about memory:

I'd like to ADD at least 4 GB of RAM so I can have 8GB in total. I need to know is it possible to get RAM with higher frequency and will it work in my laptop. For instance can I remove current RAM (which is 800MHz) and install 2x4GB 1600 MHz? If not then what is max amount and speed of memory I can get? Id like to get a memory with better CLs if possible, can I do that?
Thank you, merry Christmas!
