Help with video memory issues
The laptop has 8GB of RAM, but for some reason the video card takes only 512MB
Question: How can I increase the memory to at least 1024MB?

Looks like 4 GB.
If you have 8 GB of RAM (or more), then most modern motherboards set the nominal 1024 MB for the integrated video card by default.
Does the device have 8 GB of RAM?

if I'm not mistaken the memory usage is dynamic. those you have a graphic core and you do not immediately minus 4GB always. (in extreme cases, it’s worth looking through cpu-z how much memory you have in principle)
the second point, if this is a laptop, then most likely there is some other graphics chip and it has its own fixed dedicated memory and not RAM. so in order to check such a theory, it’s worth running some kind of game like GTA 5 on the built-in core and checking to gobble up all the video memory.

Could not find such a laptop. There are only all sorts of eq1303ur, eq1340ur, eq1330ur and so on in the same vein. And they all have different configurations.
And there is no mention of eq130ur anywhere.
The size of the memory allocated for the built-in memory from the RAM is set in the BIOS. Although not the fact that your laptop has such an opportunity.

sorry model wrote wrong eq1303ur here is my model. At the expense of the guide, I repeat through the BIOS I can’t change the amount of memory because there is no necessary tab / function, and through the registry it helps only intel processors

In your case, there is no way to increase the amount of memory for the build.
The 4300u processor with 8 gigs of RAM allocates only a maximum of 512 MB to the vidyuhi.
With 16 gigabytes of RAM, it can allocate up to 2GB of memory for vidyahi, and even then not in all laptops.
You can write to HP support and ask them if the allocated memory for graphics will increase if you add a second stick of memory for 8 gigs.
