I currently have a Vega 11 APU that uses 2 GB of my RAM. I'm getting a dedicated GPU soon, and I'm wondering if that 2 GB will automatically go back to my RAM after installation or if I need to change any settings in the BIOS.

Yes, once you plug in the new GPU and set it up, your RAM should return to full capacity automatically. You might want to check the Adrenaline control panel or BIOS settings for any options related to RAM allocation, but generally, it should be straightforward.
No worries, you won’t need to disable anything in the BIOS! Just connect your monitor to the new GPU instead of the motherboard. The RAM should revert back to its full capacity without you needing to do anything.
It should free up your RAM automatically, but if it doesn’t, you can disable the iGPU in the BIOS. Just a heads up, if you do that and your dedicated GPU fails, you’d lose the ability to use the iGPU. So, consider leaving it enabled just in case!
