Your device can only handle 16GB spread across four modules, meaning each module should store 4GB, not 8.

I don’t have enough space to install 8GB RAM in a single slot.

Can't combine sizes. I have three 2GB drives. An upgrade would be another 2GB stick (if you have four slots) or a 4GB stick and swap the 3x2GB or 2x8GB, replacing the 3x2GB which is already on a slower system you don’t want to further strain by adding just one 8GB stick. You need at least two sticks for dual-channel CPU performance.

I don’t understand why I’d suggest 2x8 unless you’re aware it’s compatible

It's a ready-made item, and my dad handed it to me.

If you purchase this product, the 2x 4GB RAM should be compatible. You could upgrade from the existing 3GB module or attempt to fit both sets into the available slots once installed.

Review the memory settings on the device before choosing RAM types. It's best to use uniform sticks rather than mixing them.

It seems your PC is compatible with up to 32GB of RAM. The information you received from the CMD command confirms that.
