Technically you have 0 dedicated vram. All the vram that Intel igpu uses is taken away from the system ram. On many system this is handled automatcally. Even if you could manually increase the shared ram the gpu would still perform poorly.

That is all of the video memory available on the intel integrated graphics. Essentially, all integrated graphics will let you do is browse the web and watch videos. 128mb is enough for that. If you want to increase your video memory, get a video card.

Right click, display settings, display adapter properties. What it says under total available graphics memory is how much it can have. Dvmt will dynamically change depending on needs and go up to that max. The manual setting does nothing but make that ram permanently allocated rather than dynamic. The max amount is set by windows and the driver and cannot be changed manually.
