I want upgrade to Windows 8 but I don't have a credit card or PayPal account. I only have a Visa debit card, can anyone suggest how to make a payment for Windows 8?

No Indian debit card works on Windows site or paypal site. So the best option is to use entropay. But you can create a virtual credit card from entropay using your Indian debit card and then use that virtual credit for payment. I bought windows 8 using entropay, since none of my bank debit cards were working. But there is a minimum amount: you should recharge the entropay card with minimum $20..you can use the rest elsewhere..

I have two debit cards.. With one I can buy online, and with one not! This is because, only one bank offers the option to buy online with your debit card! In other words, you better go to your bank, and ask if you can do online purchases or not!

If it is the case, go buy the Original DVD from a dealer. However, it might be more cheaper and convenient to do the upgrade online.
