Yes, you can use multiple RAM sticks from the same brand and with matching specifications.

Are you considering mixing different RAM sticks from the same brand and specifications?
Give it a shot. If the system starts to falter, simply take out the stick again and it should work again.
Usually yes. You can always perform a memory check to ensure all RAM modules function properly with your board. Launch the Start menu and look for Windows Memory Diagnostic, then execute it. To be thorough, consider testing mix-matched sticks if you require additional capacity. However, performance will remain constrained since single-channel operation will apply.
Not exactly right. An 8 gig and a 16 gig setup will cause the 8 gig to operate in single channel. That’s technically true. However, all components will run at the pace of the slowest part. Latency follows the same rule. As for mixing RAM types, it might work sometimes but we can’t be sure.
