8GB RAM is more than enough for most people.

If this is a laptop and the existing 4GB is a single SODIMM, then you can just insert another matching 4GB SODIMM, if it has a spare slot.

If not, then you will have to swap it out for a 8GB unit, unless of course it has the 4GB soldered on to the motherboard, then just add 4GB.

A desktop, it could have 2x2GB and no free slots or two free, or then again, it could be a single 4GB DIMM and one free slot.
