I have a Legion Y520, and I want to add another stick of ram, I have one one that is pretty much the same except for one thing, will it be okay? or should I just buy 2 new ones?

I have added photos, The one with the hand is the one I currently have.

You are not right. Many of my friends have 3 GB memory in their PC's, because they are using two absolutely different RAM sticks - 1 GB and 2 GB. I have 8 GB memory installed in my laptop - first stick is Samsung, pre-installed in laptop, second one is Kingston, which I set from my broken laptop. So...

Don't worry - its just differnt p/n(part number) on RAM. You can use it. One stick cant prevent another one's work. Another question - does your CPU support it, but I sure it does.

But if they don't match they will not work together right?
I don't want to buy a stick of ram if it won't benefit my computer but it would be cheaper than buying 2 new ones, and yes the Legion Y520 supports up to 16 GB of ram, it has an i7 7700 HQ

So if Your sticks will not work together, this will be like Sun which rising on west :).
