Help with Battlefield 4 System Requirements before purchasing

Help - trying to understand graphics requirements before buying BF 4 for son to play...Have an old HP Envy with Intel Graphics...

Total Available Graphics Memory is 1792MB / Dedicated Video Memory is 32MB / System Video Memory is 0MB / Shared System Memory is 1760MB.

Cant make changes in BIOS as no Option and RegEdit to change doesn't work.  Any ideas if He'll be able to run the game to play?  System has minimum or better for all other requirements.

Don't believe that I can add a graphics card to the PC as it is an all in one touch screen.

    Hi @vyyper23 About an experience you've honestly done, I don't think you will benefit from the game, you will encounter many problems, including slow loading and game suspension, you are wasting time with your device.
    Installing an ssd hard disk may improve the game, but it is not a sufficient solution.
    This is about my personal experience. Perhaps someone else has another experience that can help you better

    @vyyper23 

    Your machine will not be able to play BF4 as it has only 32MB of dedicated video memory where the requirement is for 512MB.

    Minimum System Requirements
    OS: 32-bit
    Processor (AMD): Athlon X2 2.8 GHz
    Processor (Intel): Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz
    Memory: 4 GB
    Hard Drive: 30 GB
    Graphics card (AMD): AMD Radeon HD 3870
    Graphics card (NVIDIA): Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT
    Graphics memory: 512 MB

    Lwranc,

    I decided to spend $8 and give it a shot before I saw your post. Thanks for the feedback / advice you were correct the game does load slow, however have not seen any game suspension issues.  This is simply for a 12 year old with ADHD and Autism to help occupy time and distract from not being to go out to amusement parks during this pandemic.  We play online with his uncle and don't seem to have any issues so far other than the time it takes to load a map.

    @EA_Barry And yet it works - copying / pasting specs vs performing research are 2 different things a cookie cutter answer does not mean you are doing your job. If going to act as though you are providing a service / helpful answers then at least appear to do the research.
