I am currently running on Windows 8 with an Acer S7 laptop. Is there a VM I can use to load Linux directly on to Windows 8? My computer doesn't "boot" when it starts.
I am assuming you want to boot your PC to see if it works? ... there are couple of options
Use windows 8 recovery disk
Use Linux live CD, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD which will allow you to
boot the PC and browse file system

I am using Ubuntu 16.04 along with windows 10. I have encrypted my drives using BitLocker. Now my encrypted drives are not visible in ubuntu 16.04. But I want to access my encrypted drives using BitLocker password like windows. How can I do this?
Ubuntu not support it nativly but there is some 3rd part free software to do it (Dislocker). There is a lot of articles about this topic on Google. For example here: https://www.m3datarecovery.com/bitlocker/bitlocker-linux/access-bitlocker-encrypted-drive-linux.html

Is there any problem on having Windows 10 on an SSD and Linux Mint on an HDD in the same computer and have an option to boot either one on startup? And if not how can my pc ask me what to boot when starting up?
Thanks in advance!
No, there is not a problem with that. Just make sure to install Windows before Linux; the Linux bootloader should ask which OS you want to boot.

Just wanted to make sure I could mix the two flavors of linux before I installed Fedora on my new laptop hard drive. I'm guessing that nfs is generic to all linux distributions.
Yes, NFS works across multiple operating systems, let alone versions of Linux. You do have to use the same protocol level on the two, however.

By default I have Windows-8 installed on my machine, and I have installed Linux Ubuntu alongside Windows-8, Now on every start of a machine a grub menu appears where I can choose which OS to open (Windows-8/Linux-Ubuntu).
Now I want to install Linux-Kali on my machine alongside Windows-8 and Linux-Ubuntu.
Without touching Windows-8 and Linux-Ubuntu I want to install Linux-Kali, Because I have already installed many softwares in Windows-8 and Linux-Ubuntu.
Install virtual box https://www.virtualbox.org/ and you can install any other OS as guest.
You can copy to any machine you are interested, and you can run both the windows and linux at the same time.

Currently my screen is showing error no kernel found. So how to get back the windows bootloader and my system to previous working state.

You need to boot a linux live cd and use ms-sys utility to recover the Windows boot loader. Look at this page for more information.
Option 2
You can also boot a windows CD and do a startup repair. Take a look at this, option 2.
