Once you fill both ram slots with the same spec ram your ram will run in ‘Dual channel”. Firstly see GPUz for your current OEM ram specs and upgrade appropriately or see here: https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/acer/aspire-e5-475g as this will give you a guide of what upgrades you can do. Btw, with the ram I would only upgrade the ram speed to DDR4-2666 SODIMM. Also ifyou want to make sure how much ram your e 14 e5-475g-50st can take then you can do this in cmd prompt and do this:

Go to cmd prompt and use it as administrator and use this command:

• wmic memphysical get MaxCapacity, MemoryDevices

 

The above example shows (8388608 which then you divide that by 1048576 = 8) which tells you that the maximum RAM capacity is 8 GB. If your motherboard has two memory slots, it means the maximum RAM capacity per slot is 8 divided by 2 = 4 GB per slot. this is the best way to determine your max ram capacity, simple! Good luck.
