It seems to have one memory slot occupied, one empty. Running Win10
64bit.


Yes...installing another similar spec SODIMM will enable dual channel
mode. You can never have enough RAM.


That's not really true... you could argue you can never have too much
ram. But there is clearly a point where you have "enough". Once you have
reached that, adding more will not in itself improve performance further
(with the caveat that two devices may perform slightly better than one
even if the total amount of RAM is the same).
