If you have free space on the hard drive, you can add FreeBSD to the 
computer without deleting Windows.  If you choose to delete Windows, 
just delete the Windows partition during installation and create a 
FreeBSD partition in its place.

The online handbook has a chapter on installation:

Happy Friday!
