How to install a new ssl on Ubuntu to replace existing one?

Hi, I already have installed a SSL certificate last year on a Ubuntu server. Now the renewal of the certificate issuing is taking forever, so I am thinking to install a temporary Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate for the time being.
Even though there is already an SSL certificate installed manually in the virtual host conf,…
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName mydomain.sg
ServerAdmin admin@mydomain.sg
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /home/keys/mydomain.sg.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /home/keys/mydomain.sg.key
SSLCertificateChainFile /home/keys/intermediate.crt
Can I still follow this tutorial?https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-apache-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-18-04
