I have a laptop that had Windows 7 previously installed but now has Windows 8.1. I want to dual boot with Ubuntu 13.10. But I was curious on how to do this properly and in the case that GRUB messes up my computer just delete it and restore it to the original Windows bootloader. Also DON'T recommend EasyBCD. I don't mind using GRUB but I want to be sure I can remove Ubuntu and GRUB.

I tried doing that one week earlier and that was a total crap (got grub rescue screen)! I finally simply boot on a live cd of Ubuntu 13.10, delete all the partition and reinstall Windows 7 and then alongside Ubuntu 13.10.
Be carefull saving your data before trying that!

insert your Ubuntu Live CD and install boot repair and then run it. for more detailed instructions see the link
in short add ppa sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update
install bootrepair sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && (boot-repair &)
Use recommended settings
