I am dual booting between Windows 8 Enterprise (90 day evaluation copy) and Windows 7 Home Edition.

If I upgrade Windows 7 Home Edition to Windows 8, will there be any issues with having both versions installed?

No.
Upgrading one OS will not affect other OSs on the same computer.

In general, the only risk you would face in such a scenario is that the upgrade might replace the boot loader, leaving you unable to boot to the other OS until you re-install or reconfigure the boot loader.

This is only an issue if the secondary OS is not Windows, or is a newer version of Windows.
