You received a laptop with more RAM than expected, but the system is already using part of it for graphics. There’s no safe way to reduce VRAM without affecting performance or stability. You’ll need at least 8GB RAM for a smooth experience in 2023. If you’re concerned about BIOS settings, consult the manual or contact Lenovo support for guidance.

Adjust the settings in the BIOS. On Windows, press and hold Left-Shift while clicking Restart in the Start menu. This opens a custom startup screen where you can choose UEFI Firmware to access BIOS. Would adding RAM help reach 16GB?

Notice that many yoga practices don't really reduce VRAM. If this is true, all operations can only increase it.

It seems like you're referring to a component being soldered onto a board. Would you like more details or clarification on this?

If it doesn't work for you, entering the BIOS might cause damage.

I also understood it a bit, but didn’t grasp it completely.

Reduced storage from 2.3gb to 1.3gb is normal. Lowering it further to 512mb should not affect performance negatively.

If you're not a gamer, 512MB of VRAM should work just fine. I’d still prefer more, though. It’s surprising how much memory the Ryzen processors set aside for graphics automatically.
