“Can the iGPU in this computer be disabled to free the 1 GB of system RAM it uses? I can't seem to get to a real BIOS to see if it can be disabled there. If possible and not ill-advised, how do you access the BIOS on this computer to turn off the iGPU?”

No it cannot. And with a BIOS update that I'm sure not everyone has applied, it now reserves 2 GBs of system RAM. The BIOS is really locked down. Hardly anything to adjust in there. Reboot and press F2 till text menu comes up, then press F10 to enter the BIOS. HP needs to issue a fixed BIOS that disables the processors integrated graphics access to system ram. Funniest thing is that the motherboard does not allow the use of integrated graphics period. If it did, there would be a way to disable it from the get go. A real big oversight happened here.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, this computer has no integrated graphics and you can't release any dedicated graphics RAM (4GB) to be used by the computer.
