There is. Download the ISO, use USB startup disk creator to put it on
a USB stick, or burn the ISO to a CD/DVD.

Boot off the USB stick or CD/DVD and then follow the prompts. one of
the options is to install side-by-side with your existing
installation. Choose that, job done.

Other options will allow you to "upgrade" or "overwrite". Don't choose
those if you absolutely want dual boot.

Once installed the grub boot menu will show both installs.
