oh man... I installed from the scratch... I connected to the internet... Updates started to come... 7 drivers with errors and Windows 10 stand 1803... installing for the last 4 hours 
It would be user friendlier to offer the Updated Version of Windows 10 as stand alone installation packet

Why choose? Beer AND whiskey sounds good to me

nah.. if you want to mix with beer, then better tequila.
I am a bit classic, the whiskey on the rocks or with cola

I'm a bit of a purist. Beer with a separate whiskey (neat). I never mix them...except in my tummy.
Though, you do remind me I have a bit of Don Julio hiding around here someplace. I might have to sample it...you know, purely in the name of science...for quality assurance

Do a diver:
Need a short of tequila and a big Bier (I recommend a Maßbier = 1L Jar).
Drink the half of the short and drop the short glass (with the rest of the tequila) inside your beer.
Then enjoy your ![Beer | [beer]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif)

You can, I think - I installed it as a bootable USB earlier this week.
According to this: What Windows 10 Version Does The Media Creation Tool Download?[^] it`s always the latest build for the PC you create it on.

You need to be online to install in this way, don't you?
How big is the USB you used? How long did it took to reinstall?

ISO for 1803, then the latest Cumulative Update, and you're mostly there already.
Now try a clean install of Win7 instead. You'll be patching for days.

That is a known bug. Search for the KB3138612 and you get the whole list in about half an hour.

The whole list. Yeah.
Then you reboot, and there's another list. Then another. And another. And another. About 6 times by the time everything is said and done.
Then don't forget that installing the latest IE will be followed by its own updates. Same with .NET.

Having looked at the question and Dave`s replies I have to say he is right and you are wrong: you showed no sign of understanding - or even trying to understand - what he was very patiently trying to explain to you. And accusing him of trolling when he didn't give you the answer you wanted because you don't understand what he is telling you isn't going to help you.

I have read the thread where he says he got help in the other forum, but I don't understand what he wants yet.

I had a look at that too. It looks like a completely different question. 
Also, starting that thread with that aggressive opening comment seems like a great way to lose friends and alienate people.

Well... maybe Dave and you DID manage to teach him something... and he used it to ask better on the next place
But I still don't really understand what / why is he trying.

From what I could figure out from here and the other post linked to, he was trying to save the binary string "10000000000000" as something other than a string, in 8 bytes, as a double.
Look over both threads and see where he finally says anything that resembles that.

I think (picking through the bones) what he wanted was to save some data to a file. He had some integer and floating point values that he wanted to save in a ".bin" file. All that stuff about converting to and from binary was, as you rightly pointed out, down to the fact that he did not understand the basics. Frankly, I thought you were very patient.
