Hey guys, I just got a Dell Inspiron 15 7000 series and purchased an additional 8 gig kit of ddr3 memory to upgrade it. I properly installed the kit, but it's not being registering on system specs; is there something I'm missing or should I refund it?

The original so-dimm was a samsung
1.35 V 8 gig chip with a clock speed of 1600, and the one I purchased was a Ripjaws 1.35 V 8 gig chip also with a clock speed of 1600.

Side note here: I'm also considering purchasing a M.2 SDD and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations.

Yes, you cant mix and match rams cards as there is no guarantee it work properly. Always pair ram that comes in the same retail package to avoid compability issues.
