I have a dell notebook with 2 Ram slots, both have 4gb ram each (8gb total).

I want to upgrade my system to 16gb ram total. And i'd like to use just 1 ram slot for now and keep the other one empty so i started to look for 1x16gb rams. i found out Kingston KVR24S17D8/16 then i realize it's dual rank ram. After some research online, i found out that dual rank rams must be used 2 pieces with 2 slots. (such as 2 rams of 8gb)

My question is, if i use only 1 dual rank ram (16gb - KVR24S17D8/16), will i have any troubles with my notebook and my gaming performance?

The Dell inspiron 15 gaming 7577 can accept one RAM stick of 16GB. However, I'm not sure that your memory is acceptable.

The Kingston RAM model KVR24S17D8/16 is not in the list of upgrades of Kingston Dell Inspiron 15 (7577) Gaming Laptop RAM Memory. Therefore I would judge it unsuitable, even knowing that motherboards can sometimes adapt themselves to unsuitable RAM (although perhaps with performance lose). I recommend choosing RAM from that list.

You should also have a look at Crucial RAM for Dell Inspiron 15 7577, as they have competitive prices.
