You have a 1GB B550 motherboard with two 8GB RAM sticks and are considering upgrades. It's better to combine the four 16GB sticks into one package rather than sticking with two 8GB sticks, as it maximizes your memory capacity.

Assuming proper installation with identical RAM models per dual channel pair, there shouldn't be an issue.

Yes, you could get additional storage to reach a total of 32GB. Would you like more than that?

it doesn't matter if it won't work; you just need to decide whether upgrading to 48GB is sensible based on price and stock. ofcourse

I use my RAM setup this way. The key is placing one 8GB and one 16GB in each channel, giving 24GB per channel. If your system is already using dual channels, insert the new modules into the available slots.
