So I've just gotten a new laptop.
It has an A8-3520m CPU with 6620G IGP.
It also has a dedicated 7690m GPU.
I don't know much about Crossfire but I do know that unlike nVidia's solution, AMD's Crossfire works between different model GPUs.
I can't figure out how to Crossfire these 2 though. What software do I need for this?
I tried downloading drivers from AMD but an error message keeps popping up that says "ATI Catalyst can't be downloaded" cause of incompatible hardware/software and "[My] computer does not contain a proper graphics adapter" I have no clue what this means.

To take advantage of AMD Radeon™ Dual Graphics, you must use a compatible AMD A-Series APU to pair with your supported AMD Radeon™ HD 6000 Series card. After installation of your graphics card, install the latest AMD graphics drivers. After driver installation, the option to enable AMD Radeon™ Dual Graphics should become available in the AMD VISION Engine Control Center.

Once installed, go into the “Performance” section of the AMD VISION Engine Control Center and check the box that says 'Enable Crossfire™' - this will allow the AMD A-Series APU graphics to work in tandem with the select AMD Radeon™ HD 6000 Series GPU installed for increased graphics...

Followed your solution and found that there's actually an option like that, and I did just as you wrote.

But I'm not sure if they actually worked as in Crossfire though. Is there way to check this?

if you check the link your 7690 is not listed as compatible with the 6620. It only list these cards that you can pair with the 6620G

HD 6750M
HD 6730M
HD 6650M
HD 6630M
HD 6490M
