Hi,
Install CPU-z and find out the make and model of your current 8GB module, get a module to match the specs of the RAM and install, you have two slots (one occupied by current 8GB RAM), you need DDR4, 2133/2400MHz memory module.
Open the memory hatch at the back, insert the module at an angle and gently push down until the retainer clips click.

ahh gotcha. thank you. Would something like this work? even though i can see the info about my current ram i still cant tell which one to get. In the link it says its compatible with the acer nitro 5 an515 which is what i have but for some reason im still not sure. If this ram is compatible then can i install it along side my current ram? Does the new ram need to be the exact same specs and/or capacity as my current ram? Sry for all of the questions i just want to make sure i get it right.....

Hi,
Yes, both should work, but I would prefer Adamanta module, Amazon has a good return policy, so if it doesn't work you can always return it and get a replacement.

Your model could be different from AN515-51, please provide the full name, like ANxxx-xxG. Yes, you could be right, if the total memory is 8GB and if you find only a single removable module, the other one might be an on-board memory, it means soldered.

According to service manual the motherboard has the capacity to run up to 2400MHz but this 2666MHz module may have been available at the time of assembly.

Please answer me real quick, as I'll get this laptop soon. If the laptop has 4gb ram in one of the slots, can I add an 8gb stick of ram to make it 12gb? Both are ddr4 with same speeds. I just want more than 8gb but my budget can't fit 16gb. Please help me.0

Is it AN515-51? If so, yes you can but wait until you receive the laptop to find out whether it comes with 2133MHz or 2400MHz module.

My laptop is also an Acer AN515-51, it already have a 8gb ram, should I buy a single rank or dual rank 8gb ram to upgrade it ? Its NB Frequency at 2194,2 to 2196,7 or so. Is this one compatible ? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BIWKP58/ref=twister_B07FXFSD51?_encoding=UTF8&th=1

You don't have to worry about single rank or dual rank anymore, you can even mix them, get a module that says DDR4 PC4-19200, both modules in your links are compatible.
