Looking to upgrade the RAM on a relative’s computer. I have a couple questions.

His computer is at least 5 years old, and only has 4gb of ram. His computer has a capacity of 16gb.
It says the ram is DDR4-2400.
My question is if I get more ram, does it have to also be DDR4-2400? Is there a better option such as 3200? Can I remove the original 2400 ram and use all 16gb available with something other than DDR4-2400 such as 3200?
What would you do when upgrading the ram?

There’s a bit to unpack here. To start, are we talking about a laptop or a desktop? Any more detail you can provide?

Go to crucial and use their system scanner

You can use different speeds together, but they will function at the lower rated DIMM's speeds
Would be easier to just upgrade to two 8gb DIMMs or a single 16gb DIMM
