Case solved.
The laptop uses an AMD A8 APU which has the R5 graphics built into the chip. The R5 is just a rebranded HD8500m chipset, so they are one and the same, which is why CrossFire is disabled.
CrossFire is a technology that allows you use 2 graphics cards together to generate the display.
The systems use both cards to render the picture (by getting each one to render half the display pixels at a time) and thus 2 cards work faster (and you get better frame rates) than one card alone.
If the info I am finding is correct, you can run 2 R5 cards in CrossFire.

My Laptop Supports? crossfire?? http://imgur.com/a/ACLBj
in Speccy - is shows Disabled
In GPU - z - it says Disabled (Crossfire Avaiable)
if Yes.. then How to enable its
You should be able to enable Crossfire in your Catalyst software and let the system use the R5 and HD8500M together, when needed.
Be aware that when you do so, the battery life will be shorter as more power will be required.

Can u guide me how to enable it ???
As the Software is updated to something called Amd Radeon Crimson Edition..
And theres no option for Enabling crossfire
I'm not sure how to do that myself since I don't use any AMD hardware.
Perhaps someone else will read our thread and assist.
For the record, which laptop do you have? I see that it's a Lenovo, but which model?
