Yes.. debit cards also work. I checked the FAQ's

Windows Upgrade Offer - FAQ

I talked to customer care and they said the payment should be only through credit card or pay pal. Also there is no option in the setup to pay through debit card.

yea, some debit cards don't seem to work, use Entropay, I did that, cost me ~ Rs 712.

also I finished installation, the metro Interface looks beautiful. but can't explore more now, gotta go someplace

not some all debit cards, as i can see in payment option there is only two choice pay via credit card or pay pal.

I don't know worlds you are talking about. My suggestion is to better install ubuntu to keep dual OS.

I don't want to install ubuntu, I want to install win 7 and win 8, using the upgrade offer for win 8 of rs 699.

Windows Upgrade Offer - FAQ
Yes, pre-paid debit cards are accepted from supported payment types such as Visa or MasterCard. The cards must also be ecommerce enabled for online purchases, capable of cross-currency transactions or purchasing in foreign currency, and do not require a pin to complete transactions.
To use a pre-paid card, select Credit Card as the payment method and complete the rest of the information to submit your order.

we won't loose Windows 7, I still have my windows 7 recovery DVD, so if I use that I can still get windows 7 back if I want. but I have to use it in the same system. and as far a dual booting win 7 and win 8, I really don't see the point, its from the same vendor. use ubuntu or something like that....

After spending 2.5 hrs installing Max Payne 3 i came to know its not supported on Windows 8. Spent entire evening trying to figure out to make it work but in vain

Now I want to know is it possible to run windows 7 using vmware and then run Max Payne in it?

Yes, what is the source and where did you read this?

I want to have both OS because incase I don't like win 8 much I can shift to win 7. Plus I don't have to keep on installing and uninstalling the OS. Having them both at the same time is much better.
