Product: HP 255 G8 Notebook PC
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

So I added an extra 4GB of ram, brining my total to 12, and I know that Vega 8 graphics allows the VRAM amount to be adjusted, 2GB is already used as VRAM and I want to increase this amount, I've done research and I got really find anything.

Is it possible?

Laptop makers do not allow user adjustments to VRAM on consumer laptops. This is true of your model and true of other laptop makers. Here is an item from an Acer forum similar to this one on one of their models with Vega 8 graphics:

Similar info can be found on Asus laptops. It is unlikely that trying to increase VRAM beyond 2 gb would make any difference in performance even if it were possible to do. Sorry to be the bearer of unwelcome information but I'm just the messenger here.
