Hi,
There are different motherboards are used in E5 models, as the CPU-z reports a PC3-12800 module already in your laptop, you need to get DDR3L module and not DDR4 module, please send Acer support another email showing the CPU-z readings for SPD and memory tabs.

Yes, you will gain the advantage of dual channel if you have 2 pcs of RAM.

Hi
You need a DDR3L memory module, DDR3 modules have 1.5v, DDR3L modules have 1.35v as your CPU-z reading shows 1.35v for voltage, you have to install a DDR3L module.
Example:https://www.mrmemory.co.uk/memory-ram-upgrades/acer/aspire-notebook/e5-576g
Do you want to upgrade the current HDD to a SSD? If so, you can replace it with any 2.5" SSD. 
There's another option as well, you can install a M.2 SSD, use it as a boot drive and use the current HDD for storage, let us know of your preference.
