You can dual boot win8 and win7 its a breeze, i just did follow this simple steps posted on microsoft-news.com
just make three partition on your laptop...one for each.. or you can install Ubuntu through wubi on windows 7 and windows 8 on a separate partition.. am currently using like this...
Easiest way is to install ubuntu inside windows 7 and use VMware to instal Windows 8 on virtual machine.
I did that today. Could go without windows eight tho.
thnx everyone i run win8 in VMware..

Its actually pretty simple.Just dual boot windows 7 and 8.Im sure u knw how o do this.Then install Ubuntu alongside 7 through the boot setup!
If you had a newer CPU, I'd suggest using Client Hyper-V (from Win8) to run the other OSes virtually, but the Core 2 family lacks second-level address translation, which means Hyper-V messes up desktop performance so MS made SLAT mandatory on client (non-server) builds if you want Hyper-V.

I had my windows 7 installed , and then i installed ubuntu. Now , lets say you installed windows 7 on a LocalDrive (c):, then in this drive there will be some files.
wubildr
wubildr.cfg
wubuildr.mbr
These are the files that gets your ubuntu booted.
So just install windows 8 normmally on some other drive. (note: dont keep any operating system in same drive. Make a 100gb for windows 7 , 50gb for ubuntu(if you not compiling any big projects) and 100 gb for Windows 8 , and the rest 70 gb a 4th hard drive )
You can store songs and stuff in any drive you want.
NOTE:
When you boot up your computer,this is what happens,
1) Bios awakes all the hardware("Goodmorning mouse,keyboard harddisk, any other devices connected too (except your internet router) )
2)Bios finds a operating system and boots up its "SELECT OPERATING SYSTEM"(called bootmanager).(in my pc when i use windows 8 and shut it down, the next time i start pc i get windows 8's boot menu. but if i use windows 7 and shut it down , and next time when i turn on my pc i get windows 7's bootmenu, You wont get ubuntu boot menu on startup)
3)Go to Windows 8 , open my computer . Now you will see that the drive on which you installed Windows 8 is now C drive..
4) Find out on which drive you had your windows 7, open it, go to program files. and use which ever software you had without reinstalling it, Like lets say if i want photoshop, then i will go to windows 7 drive, open program files, then Adobe, then photoshop cs5 and here there will be photoshop.exe, i will create shortcut on desktop (use this method only when the software publisher have not published the software for windows 8, eg TeamViewer , they released their software for windows 8 , so i wont link it to desktop from my windows 7 files.. I will download a new one.. )
Thats it.. have fun buddy..
Check this out.
Google EasyBCD. And then download that software. so if you ever mess up , then you can make a new entry in your bootmanager and name it what you want. lets say you mess up with ubuntu, and in boot menu ubuntu option doesnt come, then you go to windows 7/8 and then open up EasyBCD , make a new entry , name it Ubuntu(or what ever you want) and then point it out to "wubildr.mbr" (remeber , make backup of the three files i told above..) Also you can change the names of existing OS. Like Windows 7 can be changed into Hello, This is Windows 7 . Then this will appear in your boot screen..
Hope i helped. I know you booted windows 8 in VM, but VMs are slow... I just gave you extra info so u know what to do if you mess up on install new OS again

It is easy install Ubuntu alongside win7 and install windows 8 to a different partision
you can install them separately, each on a partition
it is very normal and easy
i did it, i installed windows 7 then 8 then ubuntu
just make sure to install ubuntu after all because of the grub boot loader
Win 8, then Hyper-V as many different OSs as you have space for, its quick, painless, you don't need to worry about Linux over zealous bootloaders screwing everything up, unless you are running several at the same time even a moderate spec'd PC with the correct hardware requirements will run them both without much of an issue.
one thing I miss from 7 is the ability to run XP programs right of my desktop, I have some USB hardware that only supports 32bit XP, on 64 bit 7 I VM'd with XP mode, had the program icon that used said hardware right on my 7 desktop, double clicked, and for all intensive purposes it ran and worked the hardware as if it was on that very os
pretty impressed I have to say, alas it doesn't work like that on 8 which is a shame

All the files on my windows 7 will be deleted?
When you install 8 over 7, then the files will be on the pc.
But for always, make a backup!
That's true.
The "normal" files stay in place, the windows-files get moved to an old windows folder.

Your wrong, you can designated where you want your OS install to go.
Just make 2 partitions and dont install it in windows but when your pc starts. I dual boot Win7 and Win8. Just Make a C: and a D: If you install when the pc starts, it will give you a choice (at least it did for me.)
The only way I could get Windows 8 Dev running correctly was to upgrade from 7 rather than doing a clean install. This way the hodgepodge of drivers I use work, whereas if I tried using those drivers from their original installers that worked in 7, in 8 most of them failed.
Can be installed to another partition

Correct me if I'm wrong! I don't think that's possible, because Windows 8 is still in Developer stage. Guess what, you'll have to find a new Windows 7 installation disk (even a Repair disk will do).
It is possible to downgrade back to 7 , you really don't need to downgrade really though, if you created 2 partitions then just just need to delete the windows 8 partition and merge the unallocated raw partition that you deleted that held windows 8 and merge that partition back to the windows 7 partition, granted if you installed windows 8 with two partitions

Sometimes you might have to run Startup repair since Win8 changes the MBR.
You might have to fix MBR (Keep your windows disc ready )

There is a selection menu in win 8 during boot.
After selecting win 8 it boots directly to 8, if you select win 7 it reboots and boots into win 7.
So after selecting 7 from selection menu if it reboots do not panic.
Install Windows 8 in another partition and you can choo OS to boot.

I don't think you can revert back to Windows 7. You can try contacting Microsoft but I doubt they'll help you in any way...
And to answer your first question (if you have not already found out the answer) all of the files are moved to a folder called "Windows.Old". They're still there.
If you just update, these won't be deleted, but if you format, obviously, them will be.

Just go to Create And Format Hard Disk Partitions and shrink your windows 7 partition and make a new partition for windows 8 with the unallocated space or add a new hard drive. After that make a bootable usb/dvd of windows 8 using Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool and install windows 8 on any other partition you made. There is an option in the setup to select which partition you want to install it on if you boot from the cd/usb. After that you can use easy bcd to create a boot menu but windows developer preview will automatically create one for you but I prefer easy bcd since it's faster.
i've google around on how to dual boot windows 8 with windows 7, and they all say choose the install to a partition option and the thing is, i dont get that option when i try to install in windows 7. Do i have to install from usb to get it?
Second question is microsoft gives free software to the students in the information technology program free using this site http://e5.onthehub.com/. Im just wondering will they give me windows 8 free since the consumer preview is already there.

question 1
you have burnt the ISO to a disk and then booted to that disk haven't you?
that will then allow you to select a install location, I strongly suggest you make the partition BEFORE you do this tho, in the past ive had some issues with the Windows installer making a mess of the partitions. So if you don't have a partition already then shrink your existing one with some form of partitioning program, then reboot and load up the Win 8 disk you have made, select the free space and make a new partition, tell win 8 to install there, and bobs your uncle
Question 2
Windows 8 DP CP and RP are all free, you can get a discounted final release Windows 8 student licence, but you wont get a free final release.

no i was using daemon tools to mount the disk, i dont do cds anymore lol but i guess ill try it from a usb, and yes i have already set up the partition. ill install from usb then. thanks
If you install from inside Windows7 you will upgrade Windows 7 to 8. To have the dual boot you need to do it from dvd or usb and choose custom installation
Sorry if a similar thread is already there

how do i install win 8 with dual boot option...i hv already made a empty partion for installin win 8
thanks in advance
Rather than wasting your time with posting (including an apology) and our time with responding to it, have you considered just using the search feature, or a general web search? People have been dual-booting Windows versions for, oh, the last 18 years at least. It's not hard to find info about.
Just install Win8 to the second partition. Why'd you even need to ask? Win8 uses the same bootloader as Win7 and Vista, so it will auto-detect them, but this works even with Vista or later and XP or earlier, which don't use the same loader (so long as you install the newer OS first).

All you pretty much need is the windows 8 iso on a disc or boot-able USB drive, when you buy windows 8 you should get in a disc or you can find the windows 8 .iso and enter in your key once the installation is complete
1. Use this to put the iso on a disc or usb drive: http://download.cnet.com/Windows-7-USB-DVD-Download-Tool/3000-18513_4-10972600.html
2. Power off your computer
3. On your computer, when your booting it gives you an option to boot from cd or usb (normally press your F keys or another special key when booting up to give you the option, i think for a vaio its F11 or F12)
4. Just keep clicking next till it asks you if you want "uprgrade" or "coustom" click "coustom" it should give you the option to install to that partition if it doesn't make sure your partition is 20gb and is formatted as ntfs
If you want to watch a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_p4rCyYGW0 (Skip to 6:32 unless you want to watch the partition part) it may not be windows 8 retail but its thee exact same process.
Any more questions reply or PM me
Edit: When you use the upgrade assistance it downloads the windows 8 you want just click "download pro (or any other version)" put the .iso in on a disk or usb

I have a desktop computer about 4 year old, running Windows XP. It has hardware robust enough to run Windows 8. So, I created a bootable usb drive using Windows 7 usb tool in my laptop running Windows 7 HP x64. The usb drive works fine on my laptop, both while booting from it as well as using it while already booted on Win 7 to install Windows 8. But when I insert it to my desktop, and run setup.exe, it shows that setup.exe is not a valid win32 application. And if I boot from it, just shows the Windows 8 logo and does nothing, even if I leave it for a couple of hours, I have purchased Windows 8 for both my pcs but I am not able to install it on my desktop. Help.

Windows XP 32-bit will likely be unable to start the 64-bit setup.exe file, you'll have to boot the installer from the USB stick or from a DVD.
or use a 32-bit ISO and install a 32-bit version of Windows 8.
As nbates said you can't run apps with different architecture. Make sure you have the right settings set in the BIOS (make the USB device bootable) and install again. I think that there was an app called Wintousb or something like that. That's the best app for making a bootable usb.
EDIT:
WinToFlash, that's how the app is called

Since Windows XP both a 32Bit and a 64Bit version exist. OP therefore should clearly specify which machine have what OS version running...

yeah since XP 64-bit was mostly unpopular i'm assuming they're using 32-bit XP.

You can use programs like Partition Magic

How it could be done.

By partitioning your hard drive and then installing each operating system in each partition then use the Grub bootloader software to allow you to choose which of the 3 systems you want to boot when you power on.

Hi,
You can also use Virtualbox or other virtualization software to create multiple virtual machine and RUN them on a single machine.
If your computer has good amount of RAM, then you utilize this Virtualbox software. It really works fine. Instead of creating different partition, i think it will be much better option.
Thanks,
Hope it helsp

You can use 1 hard drive or 2 hard drives or 3 hard drives, it works the same regardless of how many you use. It's easily done with just 1 hard drive. If you look at my previous post a few posts back in this thread, you will see a link with instructions to partition your hard drive to create a partition for each of the OS's that you want to install, then you install each operating system in each separate partition that you choose to install them in.

for android, you can use "bluestacks" on windows
So you want to use Windows 10, Windows 7 and Android on PC. For that first create 3 or 4 partitions one for windows 10, one for windows 7 and one for android. Install Windows 10 and Windows 7 on separate partitions and you will see that you have a option to boot into windows 7 or 10. now to install Android use a android based OS such as Prime OS and install it on a separate partition. You can use the pre installed grub or you can use grub2win to get all operating systems that you need

Hey there I'm also interested in this I currently have garuda Linux and can't get Windows 10 on
I've done this for a while, my easiest solution is:
1. Make 3 or 4 partitions. Windows 10, windows 7, data partition, and a Linux partition. (There may more created e.g. a system partition). Dont touch the data partition throughout all of this except for storing your OS ISO, liveboot ISO, other program files etc.
2. Install windows 7 on windows 7 partition.
3. Install windows 10 on windows 10 partition. Can be installed from windows 7. Let windows handle making a windows bootloader which can now boot into windows 7 or 10.
4. Create a live USB in ine of your windows. I've been using Ubuntu but used Fedora for years prior. If you aren't sure if you need x64 then go woth the 32 bit x86 architecture (useful to be able to boot on 32 and 64 bit machines). Now boot up your live USB into Linux and install automatically onto Linux partition. You'll now have a GRUB bootloader which can boot into Linux or into your windows bootloader.
5. Install android emulator. I used Linux as I felt I would get better performance emulating android in Linux, this may or may not be true.
There will things that you might find as a nuisance, for example when I boot into windows 7 from windows 10, I need to boot into the GRUB to windows bootloader, select windows 7 and it reboots again back into GRUB and then into windows 7. Not a big deal unless you want to switch OS a lot. If this is the case, you may want to just emulate to begin with. I have a laptop with *ok* processor and RAM, not the best for emulating another OS.
There is many options - you could even install Linux within windows if you so choose. Ultimately the best path will be based on your knowledge, specs of your PC ( power, ram, disk space, disk type [fora mount of partitions], BIOS/UEFI, etc. The method I laid out is the most automated and easiest method I have come up with. Don't try installing windows on top of Linux, you'll cause a headache fixing everything for your Linux system. But then again, everything I've done in Linux the hard way has helped me to understand Linux better. I've just found that even laying out all of the partitions manually for Linux can be challenging, especially if you only have 1 computer and your data is not backed up elsewhere. Start with a blank machine if you can, and have another computer on hand, then you'll have an easy time starting over if necessary. Theres still so many more options of how to do what you are asking... good luck and happy tripple booting

Yes, exactly what I was indirectly suggesting. I've done it the way you describe before, but, alternatively, you can just create 2 partitions on your hard drive then install Win10 and Win7 in those partitions then create a Linux live USB or even install a full Linux distro on a fairly large USB flashdrive/external hard drive(preferably something that has solid state storage, this enables faster booting and performance and allows installing drivers and packages) and then go into BIOS and set your boot priority to boot from USB first, save changes and exit. Then, when you want to boot Linux you just connect your external drive/USB then reboot the device and it will automatically boot Linux without having to use grub and when the Linux drive isn't connected you will be able to boot 10 and 7 via windows bootloader. A little more round about but makes booting back and forth between operating systems.

I had a project to run Windoes 10 on an SD card, which proved to be more difficult than I tbought it would be. I didn't think it should have been difficult, but it seems software amd hard tales measures to prevent this from being possible / "easy". Linux is quite easy to use a live USB, so I've done that quite a bit (I'd keep a 32 bit live USB on my Keychain). I don't think I was ever able to update drivers or install updates to the live USB, however I didn't make much of an effort too. I basically used it as a save my ass tool, which it certainly did come in useful quite often in the course of my personal/school/work computer needs.

Instead of installing Linux live on USB, you can do a full installation of Linux on the USB the same as you would when installing Linux on hard drive. A Live USB can be setup with a persist partition to provide a bit of storage on the USB but it isn't enough to do anything with that is useful, that is why it is better to just install the distro on USB instead of using USB to run Linux live.
