    I am looking for an option on my HP laptop to increase the amount of dedicated video ram.

    The dedicated video ram is only 512 Mb.But i want to at least increase it to 1 gig for better gaming performance.

    I am pretty sure there is no option for this in my Bios as far as i know to change it.It came with windows 10 but deleted windows 10 be cause it was causing to many issues with the laptop.

    Is there any Registry Key i can adjust for my AMD setup.If i have too i will get more ram.I think i can max out my ram to 16 gigs.

    Have you already looked at the results from a general internet search with the terms:
    Increase The Amount Of Dedicated Video Ram
    and
    Increase The Amount Of Dedicated Video Ram AMD

    If you have, no worries, but there are a lot of answers to the exact issue.

    The only way you could increase your dedicated video RAM is to get a graphics card with more RAM on it. You can't add RAM to your graphics card yourself. There's no available RAM slot and I suspect the currently available RAM is surface mounted (soldered in).

    My system came with AMD A8 7410 APU and integrated R5 graphics which uses part of my system RAM for itself.

    Your system RAM is the one you can increase to 16 gigs. There's slots for the RAM modules.

    Mine came with 12 Gigs (1 x 4 and 1 x 8). I pulled the 4 and put in an 8 for a total of 16 (which is the max for my system).
