upgrading my msi ge72 apache pro 16gb of ram..

HELP!!!
so i recently bought a msi ge 72 apache pro, it comes with 16gb ddr4 of ram, i wanna upgrade it but i was kind hoping to get a single 16gb ddr4 to replace one of the 8gb cards. i havent found anything for a notebook unfortunately i found two 16gb cards for 500 but shit, thats like halfway to buying me a new desktop to add onto lol. any sugestions? i have heard losing the dual channel will slow it way down? if so does anyone know of a cheaper 32gb setup. all the help is greatly appreciated!!!!

Why do you need 32gbs of ram? Why do you need 24?

Mixing ram to get 24gbs could result in weirdness happening to your computer.

16 gig of RAM is enough for 99% of computer use, barring pro work with video/image/CAD files. Even then you can work with it.

If you are doing this to make games run faster or get faster rendering, it's a waste of money unless you do it for a living and want to lower time it takes to render.

my computer runs pretty high just sitting here running the internet im sittin at 67% dont get me wrong it still runs my games great and everything but last night i finally downloaded adobe photoshop and trying to run photoshop and dreamweaver at the same time was pushing it. my computer came with a shitload of bloatware tho, i need to go through my things and delete stuff but i havent had a pc in such a long time im not 100% sure about everything thats ok to delete.
