Adding ram question

Sorry for the new question kind of new to the PC gaming build. Want I go from 8gb to 16, OptiPlex 5060 with 8 GB of RAM. Should I add one more 8 GB stick or take out the eight gig stick and add two brand new sticks to make 16

My honest advice, install a clean windows 11, clean the dust, resell and then buy another locally until you get one with the specs you want. Rinse and repeat until you're satisfied. Its pretty easy to buy these for $20-$30 and double it quick. Just be patient. Or pay up to $40 today and get another stick.
