Hello Clint,
Sorry, but no. It would violate the EULA since those would be considered two separate installations, and could get them both deactivated.

Thanks Brink. If I upgrade to 10 and it's activated and I don't like it. Can I go back to 8.1 and will it activate again?

I've been running Windows 10 on virtual machine for a while without activating it. You can't personalise it but the unactivated version is fine for trying out Windows 10 and checking your software & drivers work.
