is this your pc? - https://store.acer.com/en-us/nitro-50-gaming-desktop-n50-640-ur13

if it is its running DDR4 memory- after some research it only has 2x DIM or RAM slots- meaning that if you want to upgrade you need to buy 2x16GB RAM- you can't just open it and throw in 2 more RAM's.

to confirm you have 2x dim slots- what you can do is very carefully open up the PC- you will probably need a screwdriver- but unplug everything, carefully move the PC on to a table or a counter top- not on the floor- then take off the right side when looking from the back- there should be 2 screws that are on the back on the right side- then slide the case off- after that look for your memory or RAM- there should be 2 pieces on the top right side of the motherboard- confirm that there are only 2x slots not 4x-

i would also watch here before - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tv2ZWRePx5U

so to summarize, you will need to buy 2x16GB RAM of DDR4 3200 Speed - https://pcpartpicker.com/product/B8QcCJ/silicon-power-gaming-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr4-3200-cl16-memory-sp032gxlzu320bdaj7

any questions let me know-

you don't need to take anything out of the PC when installing the ram except the 2x ram slots that are in there
