If your laptop is powerful enough and its processor supports hardware  
virtualization, you can have both systems running at the same time  
with almost no speed decrease. There are free virtualization solutions  
such as Virtual Box. You would instsl C7 and then create a virtual  
machine for Windows. When you need Windows, just run it in a window.

Dual boot is a PITA.
