dual boot - Can I have two different operating systems (BIOS and UEFI) on two different hard drives?

I have windows 7 installed on my hard drive (installed it in BIOS mode not UEFI), and I want to buy another hard drive and install ubuntu 16.04 on it through UEFI. When I have both hard drives connected to my motherboard will I be able to choose which OS to boot into when I turn on my computer or would I have to always go into my BIOS and change the boot order?



I was thinking of just installing ubuntu 16.04 on my current hard drive alongside dual boot but I don't know if I can install it in BIOS mode instead of UEFI?
