Upgrading ram Acer Nitro 5 AN-515-52

KTooTa

Hello,
I would like to ask which ram module can I buy that would be compatible with mine ? I want to add additional 8gb of ram to make total of 16gb, but I don't know what ram should I buy, I never did this on laptop. I googled that Crucial 8GB CT8G4SFS824A DDR4 should do fine with this laptop, but I'd rather to play it safe and ask myself personally. My laptop is Acer Nitro 5 AN-515-52 with Intel Core I5-8300h CPU and GTX 1050 Ti GPU. Leaving my specs screenshot just in case.

Download CPU-Z a  look at the SPD tab and get one with the exaxt same specs as the one you have in  your laprop is running @2666 and the Crucial 8GB CT8G4SFS824A DDR4 one from your post is @2400.

So this one https://www.crucial.com/memory/ddr4/ct8g4sfra266/ct18602420 should be compatible then, am I right ?

Yes, this one is OK.

Ok, thank you very much. One more thing. My laptop is about 1,5 year old, so will there be no problem adding new stick to used laptop or is it better to buy new 2x8 memory set instead ?

No issue with adding new stick.
