    Nope, not possible at all, those standards aren't interchangeable (at the very least, their sockets and pinouts are different).

    Your Aspire E5-576G has an Intel Series 200 chipset that only accommodates DDR3L-1600MHz 9-9-9 SODIMM, you can try the DDR3L-1866MHz 12-12-12 (as I’m using on an Aspire V3-571G and it works perfectly and fast) as DDR4 of any type will not work with your chipset. The Aspire E5-576G can take a max mem of 16GB and has 2x slots (2 banks of 1) for the ram it can also be upgraded with an SSD 3D NAND SATA 2.5 inch, which would upgrade its performance.

    I think you're mistaken, it ships with an i5-8250U and that part only supports DDR4-2400 and LPDDR3-2133. Since he stated he has DDR3 (LPDDR3 to be precise) there's no going to DDR4 because they don't even have the same number of pins.

    As for maximum memory, I would expect 32 GB to be it given it has 2 slots and there's also an M.2 port PCIe wired with 4 lanes, so NVMe SSDs are also supported (just in case @Qyrock wants to upgrade at some point, so they know what's up).

    Yes you are correct about ssd.

    So i can use both ddr4-2400 and lpddr3-2133. Am i right?
    But the default specification says i have 4gb ddr3 l memory so now which is best for 2nd ram slot ddr4-2400 or lpddr3-2133?

    The processor you have can, you on the other hand cannot. Manufacturers have to choose among the possible RAM types a processor support, for your machine they chose DDR3 and that's the only thing you can put. If you bought DDR4 it wouldn't fit, it's different.

    I am curious however, because they wrote DDR3L in there, and DDR3L is different from LPDDR3. Let's see what you actually have, download and open CPU-Z, then post a screenshot or picture of the Memory and SPD tabs (all slots if there were more than one), like mine:
