That would give a working 8.1 system and a test win 10 setup to play around with. Only one 8.1 setup would then exist.
You can boot into a VHD (Virtual Hard Disk) with Windows 8.1. So it won't impact your main OS install, but will run as if it's fully installed on your hard disk

There is guide here http://www.nextofwindows.com/native-...-or-windows-8/
