If you can't find the same stick of ram, best course of action is to buy a 2x8GB kit or two identical single sticks of ram and have them paired. You should also be on the latest BIOS update for your laptop's motherboard prior to upgrading the ram.

If you're wondering, always look at ram upgrades like you would when buying a pair of shoes. If, for any reason, you lost one shoe out of that pair, would the salesman at the store sell you just one shoe? Similarly you should pair rams if you can't find a kit but a kit would yield the highest performance for any platform as they are picked like so from the factory.

Yes get a 2x8GB kit that's guaranteed to work properly and save yourself from having to worry about it not working.

acer nitro 5 Is not enough part number to give you a good answer, it also should have something like "AN515-51 "
