Windows an Partitions

Alright before I continue, I have no idea if this is in the right forum or not (I was debating over the PC's forum or this one).

I was basically wondering is there any way to copy a windows installation from one partition and move it to another?

I really want to copy my current installation (files, programs, everything, etc) from my one and only partition to another so that I can test an upgrade to Windows 8, and test out if I'll like it or not on two monitors.

Thanks in advanced.
