Hi All,

I'm new with Zorin. And I was succesfully installed 15.2 Education on my laptop. An HP old laptop https://support.hp.com/id-en/document/c04934867

My laptop videographic is AMD Radeon R7 M360 Graphics (2 GB DDR3 dedicated) and currently had 4 + 4 = 8GB of memory. But why in Zorin OS it said my memory is 6.8 GB not 8 GB?

After googling, i've found that Zorin use the rest of my Ram (1.2 GB) for shared GPU. What I wanna ask is, how to use my dedicated AMD R7's 2 GB dedicated memory?

I love Zorin at first sight, and I hope I can continue my journey with this. Any help is very appreciated. And Sorry for my bad english.

Looks like it could be a lack of hardware driver support?
