Will Kingston FURY Renegade RAM work in an Acer Nitro N50-650?

I have an Acer Nitro N50-650 pre-built PC.

It only has 16GB (2*8) of RAM, which is slightly too little for my use.

Will 2*16GB Kingston FURY Renegade RAM modules work in my PC? And more importantly of course, would buying it be a (significant) upgrade?

Here is a link to the product I'm thinking about buying:

Here's a link to the RAM that I allegedly have right now (according to HWiNFO64):

(CPU: i5-13400F 2.50GHz, GPU: GeForce RTX 4060, always good to know)

    16 GB to 32 GB - significance of this depends on what you use your laptop for. Check memory usage in task manager to see how much RAM you normally use. I have 32G on mine, but unless I am gaming or have one or more VM on, it tends to stay under 14G, with about 6-12G being my average memory use.

    The N50-650 is a PC, not a laptop. I usually play heavily modded Minecraft. I allocate 12 out of the 16 GB to it, and it hits 100% usage quite often. So an upgrade to 32GB would let me allocate around 28GB, an absolutely massive increase.

    The "idle" (like only surfing the web) RAM usage is around 40%

    hi mate, I know you’ve solved this but does the ram run at 3200 or is it locked to a lower number? because I’ve recently bought some ram that should run at 3200 but is running slower at 2533 without anyway to change it.

    As a matter of fact, it does run at only 2400MT/s, even though it should be 3200MHz. To change it you should have to do it in UEFI/BIOS settings, but I can't change anything in my BIOS, so it's kind of locked in to 2400MT/s. There should be a "XMP Profile" or something, which overclocks the memory to its rated speed.
