== Preliminary questions ==
=== Can my computer run Second Life? ===
 
See the official [http://secondlife.com/support/system-requirements/ System Requirements] page.  For more details, see:
 
* '''[[Graphics Cards|Second Life's graphics cards compatibility]]'''
* '''[[Windows 7|Second Life's Windows 7 compatibility]]'''
* '''[[System_info|How to get your system info]]'''
* '''[[Choosing_a_computer|How to choose a computer that works well with Second Life]]'''
 
== Once you're in Second Life ==
=== Can I change my username? ===
 
Your username is the unique account name or account ID you use to log into Second Life. Your username appears above your avatar inworld and identifies you to other Second Life Residents. You can also set a display name that appears above your username.
 
See [http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Usernames/ta-p/700177 for more information on usernames].
 
=== Can I turn off the display of my own avatar's name to others? ===
 
There is no way for you to turn off the display of ''your'' avatar's name to others. However, depending on their [[Preferences Window Guide|preferences]], other Residents can choose not to see the names of other avatars. So it's possible that another Resident may not see your name, but that will be their choice, not yours.
 
=== How can I make sure I stay out of trouble? ===
If you just want to have fun, and don't do anything bad or wrong, then just read and follow the [http://secondlife.com/corporate/cs.php Community Standards], the guidelines to your Second Life experience. Follow them and you should be fine.
