It’s feasible to create a dual boot setup with Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 on two distinct hard drives without relying on a third-party bootloader. You can format the second drive as a separate partition and install Windows 8.1 there while retaining your Windows 7 installation on the first drive. This approach avoids any dependency on external tools.

You'll receive a display upon startup to choose the desired boot drive. The interface resembles a safe mode menu. @ kaiju1
