    Dear AnkurGupta7,after a brief research on the subject, check that the dedicated memory of the video card is not possible to increase it physically.

    Its management is done by Windows itself and the controller driver. This means that if you are running the heaviest game or software, the system identifies whether it is the best way to run.

    The dedicated memory are ram chips soldered to the video card. To increase it, it would be necessary to solder more memory chips on the board and this is not feasible!

    I hope I have helped, any questions or problems I am still available;

    See you soon!

    First I would like to point out that VRAM is a very often misused term. Real VRAM is only available on dedicated graphics cards,

    and it is a faster higher grade RAM than system RAM.

    Integrated graphics 'dedicates' or 'shares' some of you System RAM for graphics.

    Until a few years ago laptop mfg's had an option in BIOS to adjust the 'shared' amount up to 2GB, but my understanding is laptops (or most)

    don't have this option anymore. Probably just as well as this was pretty much a marketing gimmick anyway.

    But note that dxdiag shows a  total\shared of 2GB +- . This is the actual amount of system RAM that can be used for graphics.

    4GB is minimal RAM for Win10 so trying to force more system RAM to be dedicated solely to graphics (when possible)

    could lead to a RAM shortage for other tasks and Windows.

    If you add another 4GB it may help Windows performance, but would not be a great help with games as integrated graphics

    has a limited processing capability.

    Also note that  Win10 has better RAM management than previous Windows, and it will allocate more than the 512MB to graphics if a

    game requires it, and your gpu is capable of using it.

    • The Page File can also help if you are using an HDD, but it is less useful with SSD's. The best setting for the Page File on Win10

    is the default - System Managed, as this is dynamic and will create more space when required.

    The 1.5 x RAM Page File is old school.
