Are these parts compitabile with my Acer Aspire 3 A315-51-582F

Hi there, I wanna ask you if these RAMs is compitabile with my laptop Acer Aspire A315-51-582F

And also what kind of SSD m.2 is compitabile with my Laptop? (Can you provide me a link)
I've read on some articles that this Laptop type doesn't support NVMe.

Thanks

Yes, you can add the 4GB Kingston DDR4 module you posted to the 4GB DDR4 already installed on the mainboard, for 8GB total RAM. While your mainboard should support an m.2 NVME, they are often finicky cards & usually more costly than SATA3 of comparable size. So I still recommend an m.2 SATA3 2280 which are still very much  faster than an HDD. Furthermore, unless you use programs apps or games that rely on heavy disk usage after loading, you won't notice much difference. Many of the Kingston m.2 cards listed on this link should  be fine.

PS Some of these mainboards were equipped with only replaceable 4GB RAM modules in a single socket, not soldered. Before ordering you should double check that your single socket does not already have a replaceable 4GB module installed. If it does, you would then have to order an 8GB DDR4 laptop module.

Any of those should work, you're looking for DDR4 2133MHz, also known as PC4-17000. You have 4GB soldered to the motherboard and a stick of 4GB installed in the only available socket, it would be dumb to get the first one as you'd end up with the same amount of system memory.

Because part of it is soldered, the maximum amount of memory your laptop can have is 20GB (if you install a 16GB stick), but you could sit at 12GB with a sitck of 8GB for example.

As for the M.2 port, the only thing definite I could see is that there is an M keyed socket in there, but no info on whether it's NVMe capable or only SATA. You should look for a Root PCIe bus that's capable of x2 or x4, that would be an indication that it's NVMe capable:

Yes the Kingston modules should work OK. The safest m.2 card is a 2280 size SATA3 . However, download and run HWInfo64 freeware to see if your m.2 PCIe socket support 2 or more lanes to the CPU. Post a screenshot if possible. If it does, it should support NVME card. Jack E/NJ

This link says I need 2400MHz ???

I'm also attaching the whole report generated by HWInfo

It depends on the processor and what you have installed, your PC has an Intel i5 7200U. Per its specification sheet, it supports DDR4-2133, LPDDR3-1866 and DDR3L-1600; but all of them have different sockets (e.g. you can't install DDR4 in an DDR3L socket).

So you needed to look at the one you have installed right now, which seems to be DDR4 at 2133MHz. Many memory capable of operating at higher frequencies also have timing specs for 2133MHz so they'd work at that speed in your machine instead of the one they're advertised as, but ideally you'd need to get DDR4-2133.

There's a PCIe 3.0 x4 link that's unpopulated right now (per the HWiNFO report), that has to be wired to the M.2 slot so NVMe SSDs are supported ^^,

Ahh, Got you!! 

So this RAM on the following link is compitabile with my laptop, right?

Also I have 4GB Soldered. 
Can I make dual channeling if I put  8GBx1 Stick? Or should I put 4GBx1 Stick to make dual channeling work?

Thanks!

Press WIN+R. Enter 'msinfo32'. Please post screenshot of box that pops up if possible. Jack E/NJ
