Will Intel HD Graphics 630 be able to push 4k and/or multiple monitors?

I'm building a PC for my dad, which will be a home/office PC.
Usages will be regular light workloads, browsing, and streaming - no gaming or media editing.
For this I'm going with the Intel Pentium G4620, using the internal graphics.

However I wonder if the internal graphics will be able to push our monitor config.
The config will for now be a 1080p screen connected to the PC using DVI, as well as a 1080p TV connected to the PC using HDMI (mobo has these ports).
Will HD 630 be able to manage both screens 1080p screens?
And what about when my dad gets a 4k TV, will it still be able to push 4k on the TV as well as 1080p on the screen?
Will it even be able to stream 4k? Because even though we currently have 1080p we'll still stream in 4k as much as possible for the best bitrate quality.

We do have in mind to get a decent multimedia GPU in case 4k would be too heavy, but it's still good to know, especially regarding streaming 4k content on 1080p screens in a somewhat dual screen setup :)

I have seen that myself, my last GPU couldn't maintain the frame rate for 60hz mode on my current screen. Given the chip says it can output 4096x2304@60Hz on DP, I have to take its word for it... most 4k are 3840 x 2160 so its not likely to have to output that

if you attach all monitors on a DP daisy chain they could all be 4k as the max is per monitor.

My Z97 can run 4k so I know the HD 630 can

does board have DP as chip gets better 4k through it - https://ark.intel.com/products/97460/Intel-Pentium-Processor-G4620-3M-Cache-3_70-GHz

How many monitors can I power with Intel graphics?

The answer largely depends on what type of output port your laptop has. If you have any modern laptop with mini DisplayPort or a USB Type-C / Thunderbolt 3 port, you can power up to three monitors at 1080p each, two monitors at 2K or one monitor at 4K. However if you just have an HDMI or VGA port, you can't power dual displays through it.

Even if you don't have the correct ports or processor, you can power three or more monitors using a USB docking station that contains DisplayPort technology. These docks use your CPU and their own chips to send video out as a USB signal.

It looks like you can't run 2 screens at once on integrated, except on DP

You mean it supports 4k resolution, or that it's able to push a 4k video maintaining its target framerate (mostly 24 or 30 fps)? I've sen before a PC supporting a certain resolution which it ran at, but it couldn't manage playing videos at that resolution properly.
