If your computer’s hard disk has adequate free disk space, you can install a newer version of Windows on a separate partition and keep the earlier version of Windows on your computer. This is called a multiboot or dual-boot configuration. Whenever you start your computer, you can then choose which version of Windows to run.
Multibooting requires separate partitions on your computer’s hard disk for each operating system.

Step 2: Partition
You’ll have to create a partition of at least 16GB (20GB for 64-bit Windows 8.1) for your side-by-side Windows 8.1 and 7 installation. To do this, type "disk management" in the Start button’s text box, which will display a "Create and format hard disk partitions" choice at the top of the Start panel. Click on that to open the Disk Management utility. You’ll probably have two partitions. Right-click on the largest one, and choose Shrink Volume from the context menu.
A "Querying Shrink Space" dialog will appear for a while, and then another message will tell you how much free space can be squeezed out of the drive in MB. Enter a size above 16GB for the 32-bit version of Windows 8.1 and over 20GB for the 64-bit flavor, and then hit the Shrink button. This will create an Un- allocated section equal to the size you chose in the chart at the bottom of the window. Leave it be for now, we’ll let the Windows 8.1 installer take over from here.

Step 4: Run the Windows 8.1 Installer
Pop in the installer DVD you burned or the USB stick you prepared, and restart your PC. Choose your language, then "Install Now." You’ll need a product key that matches your installer ISO. For the Windows 8.1 Preview installer, for example, the key is NTTX3-RV7VB-T7X7F-WQYYY-9Y92F. Accept the software license, and after this, choose Custom, not Upgrade. Now is when you’re presented with the choice of partitions, click "Drive options (advanced)" and then select the Unallocated space we created in step 2. Next, click New from the drive options icons below. Accept the full size displayed, and hit Apply.
Now we’ve got a freshly formatted partition to install Windows 8 on.
