Earn 8.1 installation wants to replace Win 7

I would like to install 8.1 as a dual boot. I have 8.1 as a setup file of Microsoft web, apparently intended to install online. When I started the installation everything worked well, but there is no option to run 8.1 on a new partition on the C: drive. It looked as if the installation was about to land on my Win7 partition. I leave the facility.

I really have a lot of disk space on other readers. I would have preferred to set up a dual boot with 8.1 on a new drive and Win7 using the C: drive. If this is not possible, how can I get the web installer to install 8.1 on a clean partition on my C: drive to start instead of the Win 7 partition? I have tools to manage partitions and BCD, but this installation method doesn't seem to give a chance to run install it anywhere, but the location of Win7.

Help or pointers to the instructions would be greatly appreciated.

Why don't you launch Setup from within PowerISO?

Why not browse the DVD or ISO mounted via Windows Explorer and run the installer from there?

What language of Windows 7 is installed and what language of Windows 10 have you downloaded?
