    Yes off course.  The remaining 0.22 GB is reserved for windows.  The software will not use all the 4 GB.  So you can install the software

    Just try the below step to change the default graphics card

    Step Two

    Select Manage 3D Settings under 3D Settings.

    Step Four

    Now select the 'preferred graphics processor' in the drop down list (you can see what the automatic option is listed as global setting). If you want to use the dedicated graphics card, select High-performance Nvidia processor.

    Note: For ATI/AMD graphics cards the process varies. Open the control center in the same way as above. You may need to open graphics then PowerPlay and set plugged in and/or battery to maximize performance. You can also try going to graphics then 3D and move the slider to performance. Your computer may also have a switchable graphics tab where you can change the settings for individual programs.
