Nitro N50-600 Ram Upgrade

omish

I want to upgrade the ram in my Nitro N50-600 (U3E1). It currently has 8GB DDR3. My questions are as follows.
1. Can I install DDR4 ram?
2. Will the computer operate with the 8GB DDR3 and say an additional 16GB DDR4, or does all RAM need to be the same DDR type?
3. If it is possible to rum 2 types of RAM at the same time, would this damage or shorten the life of the computer?

1. No you cannot install DDR4 RAM it has a different interface
2. Same you cannot install DDR4 RAM with DDR3 the socket interface is different

You must upgrade using DDR3 RAM preferably matching, for example 2 x 8gb for 16gb total.,make sure they are the same Mhz 2400 or 2666 mhz. Although it is not recommended you can mismatch sizes for example 8gb x 16gb for a total of 24gb but only 16gb will run in Dual Channel mode and 8gb will run in Single Channel mode
