Can I install IE10 Preview for Windows 7 and keep the previous IE8 version for development testing?
Supported Operating System This update applies to Internet Explorer 10 with the following operating systems: Windows 7.
To install IE10 on Windows 7, you must have Service Pack 1 installed on your computer. If you've installed IE10 release Preview, it'll be automatically updated to this stable version and if you've automatic updates turned on, installed Internet Explorer 9.
On April 9, 2019, Microsoft released the final IE8 update for Windows Embedded POSReady 2009, the last supported version of Windows based on Windows XP, marking the end of IE8 support on all platforms.
I don't believe you will be able to run IE8 and IE10 side-by-side on the same machine. Instead, I would encourage you to use the browser-emulation options found within the F12 Developer Tools. From there you can instruct IE10 to behave as though it were IE8.
If emulation isn't desirable, and you're not interested in downloading a virtual machine image, you could also consider exploring the BrowserStack service. It will allow you to spin up IE8 on multiple versions of Windows, and view both remote and local files.
I think this is a more reliable option for developers
