    There are two different methods of doing this through  BIOS and the Registry but, you have to be very careful, as changing “BIOS” (ifyou have a BIOS setting for graphics Vram?) and/or "Registry Settings”, any mods to either the BIOS or the Registry can make your system inoperablebe be careful. These mods are as follows:

    1. Increasing Dedicated VRAM from BIOS (if your BIOS allows it?) 
    2. Increasing the Dedicated VRAM via Registry Editor

    This is a good article of how to do both of these mods (as it’s too long to explain here) see here: https://appuals.com/how-to-increase-a-dedicated-video-ram-vram-on-windows-10/


    So i can do it and convert my onboard 16gb ram to vram

    Hi,
    Unfortunately, you can not increase VRAM, the system will decide it.
