HP 255 G8 (16GB RAM) does not see more than 512 MB VRAM

Hello, I couldn't find a solution to this issue anywhere. When I bought this laptop from you, I was in anticipation that I would be able to use programs that require a large amount of VRAM, but, unfortunately, the laptop does not see more than 512 MB of VRAM ... it was originally 8 GB of RAM, I bought and added 8 more , in the end 16 GB, but the problem did not disappear. the operating system does not add VRAM as needed. It is very important for me that the VRAM is more than 1 GB, otherwise I will have to say goodbye to this laptop. I hope for your decision. thank you.

Integrated video (iGPU) does not have room for keep VRAM, it relies on System. System will work this out and allocate/assign spare/available system RAM to VRAM automatically when required up to max limit. System will also take VRAM back when required (the number is dynamic, not fix). During the good old days, we could do this from BIOS but now OS is smarter.

The following document shows Max shared RAM for Intel iGPU versions (I can't find a similar list from AMD).

Note: Recently people post Youtube on internet saying they can change using Regedit. Many people try but the results are unpredictable.
