upgrade my imac if i would like to upgrade my old imac memory slot, and there are two slots already been installed with two 4g memory. would i still be able to uninstall these two and changed the four slots into 8gb of each and end up with 32gb in total. if not, would i be better off install 8gb to each of the rest two slots, which ends up with 24gb in total. Or keep the same size and install 4gb of each one and end up with 16gb in total. Thank you!

iMac I have a late 2015 27 inch iM. I have two 4GB 1867MHz DDR3 in the memory slots. I am installing two 8GB 1867MHz DDR3 DIMMs. Should I leave the original 4GB in two of the slots? Or should I take them out and just have the two 8GB? Thanks,

Do not remove or relocate the existing memory. Place the two new SDIMM modules in the two open slots.
