Hello, I have a query. I have an msi h310 Mobo with only single stick 8gb ram. Can I use the other slot to put another 8gb ram stick ?

You can but try to get same model of ram as your existing one or at least from same brand with similar specs(ram frequency,timing etc) if not exact same model.

Yes, why not? Free slot is there for that purpose. Just buy same type & freq of RAM as the one you have.
If you have an 8GB DDR4 2666MHz RAM, get another one matching those, company doesn't matter, but Crucial, Adata, G Skill, Corsair are some good ones.
