Upgrading ram for a Nitro N50-610

Eryx

Hello! New to the pc gaming world and I want to upgrade my ram as my computer has been slowing down lately and this is my first step. I currently have 8gb (see photos for more info) and want to upgrade from this  if you have other suggestions on how I can upgrade my computer please suggest  
Other specs:
intel(R) core i5-10400F cpu @ 2.90ghz 
GPU nvidia GeForce GTX 1650

thank you

Hi,
You can buy another 3 modules of 8GB DDR4 2666MHz DIMM modules and install to make 32GB total memory but it all depends on how much memory you need depending on your usage, 16GB is more than enough for most people in my opinion, if you think 16GB is enough for you, you can buy another module with same specs as above will be fine, don't buy any modules with XMP profiles, like expensive modules such as Kingston HyperX or Corsair.
By the way, do you have your OS in a HDD, HDD may slow down the PC, if that's the case, I would suggest you invest in a M.2 NVMe SSD 500GB, install it and migrate everything from the HDD to it using Macrium reflect and use as the boot drive, you can keep the HDD for storage.

Thank you so much! Not entirely sure on the last part but I am still learning and I’ll look into that. I bought Corsair vengeance LPX 16gb (2xgb) ddr4 dram 3200mhz As a gamer friend suggested them. I’m replacing this RAM entirely so they thought that’d be fine. My OS is running off of a hdd as of now.

Hi @Eryx,

The Computer has 4 Slots to install memory, already with 8GB standard memory installed. For best Nitro 50 Computer performance use the maximum amount of 64GB, fill all the slots with the max allowed memory per slot for your Computer.
