Sorry, I didn't know there was such a thing as dual rank. My apologies.

If you do, see #1 then you can just right click, expand and go through the wizard to fill up all the remaining space

If you upgrade the ram, would the two different sizes cause there to be single channel memory? That would screw over the Ryzen APU graphical performance.
