    Yes they can be mixed They will operate in flex mode. It is always better to have matched RAM for Dual Channel mode

    Your RAM has to be matching in everything but size and rank, although it is better to be exact. For example DDR4 2400mhz, I don't recommend mixing Mt/s RAM with MHz RAM because they operate in a different manner and I don't see that it is supported by Acer. The standard RAM type is Mhz
    What is your model number and what is the exact RAM that you have installed, post a screen of CPUZ using the spd tab
