Information
This article will show you how to delete/remove the Windows 8 ConsumerPreview in your dual boot with Windows 7 to only have Windows 7 installed afterwards.

Here’s How:

1. Start or restart your PC, and boot into Windows 7.

2. In Disk Management, delete the partition that you installed Windows 8 DeveloperPreview on so that is is now unallocatedspace.
3. If you like, you could either create a new partition to use with the unallocated space, or extend the Windows 7 C: drive into the unallocated space to add it back to the C: partition.
NOTE: This will vary depending on how you have your hard drive setup though.
4. When finished, restart your PC and only have Windows 7 installed and listed in the Windows Boot Manager screen.

You will not need to edit the MBR separately or edit the boot sequence
All done.
