I can't see anything nsfw in his post anyways, apart from that some employers might slaughter their employees if caught on Youtube, or listening to this style of 'music'.

The video might be taken to be promoting illicit drug use and there's a very obvious sweary bit in the first couple of lines so it seemed reasonable to add a warning, that's all.

It was just weird that you admitted NSFW but put in Lounge.
From the top of Lounge: Quote: The Lounge is rated PG. If you're about to post something you wouldn't want your kid sister to read then don't post it
Note: I didn't mark it as abusive because you warned us. I just found it ironic a bit.

Indeed, it sounds just like a lot of music I don't listen to!

I just dialed your number. The lady had some cross words for you - can you change your CP alias to another number?

Well I went the upgrade route from Win 7 to 10 and so far so good

Are you planning to follow up with a clean install?

I'll see how things go if anything my laptop seems faster so I'll leave it a while I think - do you think a clean install is a good idea ?

Several users have reported that they have less issues after a clean install. I also believe a clean install will use less disk space. However, if the upgrade works for you without issues, then stick with it by all means.
Note that after the upgrade you must check that Win 10 is activated before you attempt a clean install. This will register your machine with Microsoft as "eligible for Win 10", so the clean install will be activated without the need for an activation code.
After the upgrade you will also notice a large folder named something like "Windows.old" on your systems drive. It contains all the files that you will need if you decide to roll back to 7 or 8. When you are sure you're not going back to 7 or 8, it is safe to delete that folder to free up as much as 20GB disk space. Of course this folder will not exist after a clean install.
Good luck!

I think the gremlins are starting already my icons in the tray network,speaker etc... are in black and white and this site using Firefox looks completely different - also I'm forced to logon to my pc using my Microsoft account which I don't want to do

Strange, not the icons part which can be from a wrong graphics card driver or needing an update, but the logon... I've never needed that when I installed W10, which was smooth and worked perfectly, except for the main software I use at work... (a specific industrial thing).

I too disliked the option to log on with my MS account, but once I got used to it, it adds some nice functionality to the OS. For example: After I did my laptop, the desktop background picture suddenly matched the picture on my desktop machine. When you log on with your MS account, MS will upload some of your personal preferences and implement it for you on all your machines sharing that MS account. Some people may not like the fact that MS uploads their personal preferences, but I am not that paranoid about MS.

Go to Settings, Accounts. You should see a "Sign in with a local account instead" option.
But as others have pointed out, logging in with a MS account will make a lot of settings available across your different machines/devices if you also use that account to login, which has its advantages.

Someone wasn't paying attention during the update then! You were offered a choice! You can revert to the old account still but you'll then have to manually change the permissions on all your documents.

You can get a free copy of Win10 without upgrading?

You are supposed to be able to activate the 10586 build with a Win 7 or 8 activation code, but I have never tried that, so I cannot confirm that it will work. If you do a clean install AFTER the free upgrade, you do not need the activation code and you get it for free. Just make sure the upgrade is activated, before doing the clean install. I've gone that route on several machines of family members and it worked every time. The clean install was free in every case.

How do you check if it's activated ?

Go to Control Panel => System. It will say near the bottom whether it's activated or not.

It doesn't show anything - also my display is awful - I'm at the point of reverting back
