Solution
That's an Inspiron 15-5559 ? Skylake iX-6XXX

As far as I can tell, that laptop shipped with either:
i3 + 6GB
i5 + 8GB or 12GB
i7 + 8GB or 12GB

So yes, it should definitely accept another 4GB module for a total of 8Gb......... As far as I can tell though, no configuration of that laptop shipped with only 4GB?
Provided your laptop supports 8GB (or more) maximum, then yes, you should be able to.

Desktop memory can be problematic if it's not a "kit" of 2x4GB, laptops seem to 'work' a little easier.
I would still try to find as close to identical as you can, but realistically, most 4GB DDR3L 1600 modules should work.
