How to Upgrade Your Available VRAM in Windows 10 & 11
If you don't have enough VRAM, there are some options. You can always upgrade to a better video card on a Desktop PC. Modern video cards come with 12 or more GB of VRAM. If you have an onboard video card (laptops, all-in-one PCs, and often Intel video cards), your only option is to go into your BIOS and share more of your memory (RAM) with your video card. If you don't have a lot of computer memory, upgrades are often affordable, certainly cheaper than the latest video cards.
Refer to your computer motherboard manual, but generally, you're looking for Advanced Features or Advanced Chipset Features. In that section, you're looking for Graphic Settings or Video Settings.
