Does dual-booting Windows and Linux make your computer run slower?

No, it would not, as you only boot with one OS at a time, not both of them simultaneously.
However the data transfers between the two partitions (one for Linux and other for windows) would take slightly longer than what it would have taken with only one partition. You would have lesser space than before.(as Linux would take some space for installation)
