Upgrade Ram

I want to upgrade my laptop's RAM because 8GB isn't enough for me. However, I don’t know much about it and I’m unsure what to buy.

If I were to buy one 8GB RAM stick, my total RAM would be 16GB. But I’m also considering buying a 16GB stick to make it 24GB total, so that when I want to upgrade to 32GB in the future, I’ll only need to buy one more stick.

This is what my specs look like in CPU-Z. I’m not sure what all of it means, but I checked it because I saw on Reddit that it’s a good way to find information about your RAM.

Here are my laptop specs:

Laptop: Acer Nitro V15 (ANV15-51)

CPU: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-13420H @ 2.10 GHz

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050

RAM: 8GB DDR5 5600MHz

Which option would be better? Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
