Question about VRAM on dedicated gpu

I own a Lenovo G40-45 AMD A8-6410 with AMD Radeon R5 Graphics.
When I bought it, it only has 4gb ram with 512mb VRAM then I decided to upgrade it to 8gb and now it has 1gb VRAM.
So my question is if I upgrade it to 16gb ram, will my VRAM Increase automatically to 2gb?

Because there's no VRAM allocation setting on my bios, and I already checked the ram maxcapacity is 16777216, so I assume I can get more VRAM if I upgrade it one more time.

 

Thanks in advance, pardon for my english.

As you state, the laptop seems to auto adjust the UMA buffer size based on available memory capacity. So it would seem logical that upgrading to 16GB of memory would also increase that. However to be sure it would be a good idea to open a Lenovo support request to get the manufacturer's answer.
