My laptop has 8gb ram and my iGPU has 2GB RAM dedicated to it from this. I also have a normal GPU of NVIDIA so I dont need the iGPU to use this much ram and its never using more than like 3% of it because the NVIDIA GPU does most of the work. The only way i found to change the RAM used by the iGPU was from the advanced BIOS settings which is locked by HP. So HOW do i remove this 2GB RAM currently not being used by anything.

What is your machine ? Removing it may NOT be a good idea, machine may not work.

Its pavillion 15 gaming ec-0098ax

If not remove it entirely is there no way i can make it take less ram constantly. It never uses more than 3 % due to the NVIDIA GPU I have.

Moreover i am only able to use 6gb out of 8gb ram due to it

It uses AMD CPU/Processor. That is a known issue which is related to AMD processors. Please check the following article:.
