Dual-Booting Windows 8 and Windows Vista

I recently upgraded my copy of Windows 7 to Windows 8 (using an upgrade-DVD), now after using it for a while I'd like to have the option to boot up Windows 7 too. Unfortunately I only have a windows 7 upgrade DVD so I'll have to install windows vista before installing windows 7.

Now here's what I'd like to have: the pc should have Windows 8 as the primary OS, and windows 7 as a secondary OS. At this moment windows 8 is installed in my C-drive. Is it possible to just install windows vista in a freshly made partition?

I thank you in advance!

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention the PC came with Windows 7 pre-installed, does that change anything?

So basically it's: windows 7----> windows 8 and windows vista --> 7

that one says: ''This will show you how to set up a dual boot installation with Windows 8 and Windows 7 or Vistawhen Windows 7 or Vista is installed first.''

Won't that be a problem since I installed windows 8 first?
