I have laptop which was already having RAM 4Gb DDR3 1600MHz 11CLk and I found RAM 8Gb DDR3 1600MHz can I mix it together 11Clk? as I see both have the same clock speed 11 and 1600Mhz just different sizes, can it impact my computer? or any concern I should have. while using it together
Thanks.

It should work. You'll get 12 GB of RAM in total, but you won't benefit from dual channel - it works only if both modules have the same capacity. Since this is a DDR3 system the advantage of dual channel is relatively small and it's probably worth sacrificing for additional 4 GB. Some DDR4 systems have sigificant boosts from dual channel configurations and you'd have to run benchmarks and decide if it makes sense for you, but here I'd go for it.
