I entered systemrequirementslab.com to see if my laptop could play Skyrim. Everything passed except my dedicated video ram. It said 0b. Here are my specs:

HP Envy 15 x360 Convertible PC

4th Generation Intel Core i5-4210u Processor (1.7 GHz)
750 GB Hard Drive
8192 DDR3 SDRAM
Windows 8.1
15.6" Diagonal Full HD LED Display
8GB of Memory

PLEASE HELP!
 
Solution
You don't have a dedicated graphics card so you don't have dedicated video ram. The RAM used by the graphics processor on the CPU is shared system memory.

So when I'm playing games, the game will take its needed Video Ram from my 8gb? Will I still be able to play games like Skyrim?
