Yes, you can dual boot Windows 7 and Windows 8 Consumer Preview.

To dual boot you will need a free partition on the hard drive - if you don't have one you can shrink a partition and create a new one to install Windows 8 Consumer Preview on.

First please note: The Windows 8 Consumer Preview is stable and has been thoroughly tested, but it’s not the finished product. Your PC could crash and you could lose important files. You should back up your data and you shouldn't test Windows 8 Consumer Preview on your primary home or business PC.
