    Best is to install CPUz and look at the "SPD section" of all the OEM specs of your existing ram and match the same specs ram exactly, its preferable to match the same manufacturer but not necessary but its essential to match the same timing as that is the best cheapest way to double your rams capacity and to upgrade, it will also give you dual channel ram that is superior than single channel ram for gaming and editing. Ram is always best when you have the same specs and capacities or if you want higher or max ram capacity for your laptop then get 2x kit form ram. In the case of your AN515-55 the max quoted Crucial System Scanner ram capacity is 2x 32GB kit DDR4-2666MHz I think, do the scan and find out as this scan will give you all the compatible ram that your laptop will work properly with.

    Wow. Thank you so much. This is really helpful and thanks for telling me that the dual channel ram is superior to a single channel.

    Not a problem glad to help you out, btw Ive got a Nitro 5 also and that is what Ive done and matched the OEM ram to doble the capacity and it works perfectly.
