Hewlett-Packard 17ED [HP ProBook 4545s]
CPU
AMD A8-4500M
Graphics
AMD Radeon HD 7640G (TRINITY DEVASTATOR LITE MOBILE) [Hewlett-Packard]
OS X/macOS
11.0.x
Bootloader
  1. OpenCore (UEFI)
Mobile Phone
  1. iOS
I had managed to get macOS Big Sur up and running on my HP ProBook 4545s laptop, which uses an AMD A8-4500M APU (codename Trinity) with Radeon HD 7640G Graphics and runs on 16GB of RAM with 1600 MHz by following Dortania's OpenCore guide, in part with NootedRed's guide on some steps.

Apart from being glad to have finally reached this goal of HacBooking this laptop, my main issue for now is that I cannot use the integrated graphics, running on a low-memory default graphics instead. I also notice some odd slowdowns when using apps like Microsoft Edge, which shouldn't happen on typical OSes like Windows and Linux.

Is there by any chance some Kext or conflig.plist setting that could help me fix the graphics acceleration?

The APU ain't supported.
