Dual-Booting Windows 8
Assuming your PC has the earlier version of Windows already installed, follow these steps to install Windows 8 for dual-booting with the other OS:
1. Boot to the Windows 8 install media and then follow the initial prompts to launch the installation, enter your product key, and accept the license agreement.
2. When you get to the Which Type of Installation Do You Want? dialog box (see Figure 2.2, earlier in this chapter), be sure to click the Custom option.
3. Click the partition you want to use to install Windows 8. Remember, be sure to choose a partition other than the one where your current version of Windows is installed. This will be the partition with System shown in the Type column, as you can see in Figure 2.9.
