Upgrading ram in my laptop

So I have a MSI laptop (model: gt70 2oc 096us) and it came with 8GB of DDR3 ram. Now according to the manual I got off the MSI website this laptop has 4 ram slots and you can have up to 32GB of ram (DDR3 1600/1333 MHz). There are 4 ram slots, but only 2 are easily accessible.

 

The question is how do I go about this? My original plan was to buy 16GB of ram and throw them into the 2 easily accessible ram slots (just needing to take off the back cover) but now I'm worried about compatibility issues.

 

So either it's fine to just throw in an extra 16GB of ram or I need to go through the process of taking apart my laptop piece by piece to try and find the stock ram and replace it.

It will be fine to use the easy access slots for the new 16GB, the GT70 is pretty lenient on RAM(I own one with 4+4+8GB). The other two slots are accessible by removing the keyboard BTW. 

Well that's a live saver. Thanks for the info
