How can I know how much dedicated video memory in AMD GPU (NOT Intel) and increase it? (Dual GPU Laptop)

Yo, I tried checking my AMD GPU Graphics card dedicated memory in my dual GPU laptop but I when I right-click on Desktop -> Screen Resolution then Advanced settings, I see only Intel and not AMD. So, How can I check the dedicated memory value of the AMD? and How can I increase it for AMD? Because I'm not sure if I reduced my System RAM, will it be for AMD or Intel andor if there's another way especially for the Dual-Laptops.?
Inspiron 5547 A11 Bios { Dell Laptop }
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4510U CPU @ 2.00GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.60 GHz
Intel HD Graphics 4400 && AMD Radeon R7 M260.
8.00 GBytes DDR3 Memory (7.89 GB usable)

Please edit your question to include make/model of the PC and make/model of the video hardware(s). There might be a BIOS setting to control the amount of RAM dedicated to the integrated graphics. I've seen that setting on two Intel-based SFF PCs, so I the same might be available for you. The discrete card has a definite amount of RAM on it, so that part can't be adjusted.

@ChristopherHostage I done editing it. Even if it's not available, I want to know at least how to view the Dedicated VRAM or even the shared-system memory (of AMD) from Win7

To adjust the integrated graphics RAM, boot into the BIOS (repeatedly press F2 while booting to see the option) . Look in the Configuration tab, in the IGD DVMT Memory section. communities.intel.com/thread/55054 . However, that's just for the integrated graphics. It's my understanding that dedicated graphics cards only use their onboard RAM. A program like GPU-Z may show you the stat that you want, but I don't think you'll be able to change it.

@ChristopherHostage I already tried GPU-Z before posting this question. It only shows the memory-size which I can get from my Radeon settings easily (2048 MB). Only memory-size, no more details about the VRAM like shared-system memory, dedicated etc.. p.s I only want for my AMD.. If I decreased the maximum RAM for PC from themsconfigcommand, I noticed that my Intel GPU total memory also decreases. Does that mean it goes to the AMD total memory or it just gone unusable? (That's why I want to know the AMD VRAM details, to check if it increases or have any reaction to that)

No, and you need to understand this: The amount of memory used by the integrated card (Intel) can be changed in BIOS/UEFI. The amount of memory used by the discrete card (AMD) is fixed, it can't be changed or added to from the system's memory.
