Currently on my (new) computer there is only a (pre-)installed windows 8

In detail there is a 300 MB big active system partition (I guess with the Win8 boot manager).
and a 200GB parition with Windows 8

Now I want to create a new partition (with 50 GB) and install Windows 7 on it.

Is the Bootmanager on the 300MB partition capable to recognize automatically the Windows 7
system on the new partition?

Or do I have to install the old Win7 Bootmanager?
