I am going to buy a new pc.

Do I have to copy any data from the old PC to the new one ? So I won't lost any item from my inventory ?

Thanks,

Maica

No, all of the stuff in your inventory and your avatar is stored on Linden Lab's computers. Make sure you keep a copy of your avatar's name and password somewhere though; maybe on a piece of paper.

Hello Maica,

anything that is in-world remains in-world. :) To keep your inventory stuff and avatar settings (skin, shape, make-up etc.) you don't need to copy anything from one PC to another, it's stored in-world so to speak.

However, if you want to keep your viewer settings or any preferences you may have set like window size, log-in screen of your home position etc. you can copy two folders...

C:\documents and settings\[your user name]\application data\Second Life

and

C:\programs\Second Life

This may be amateurish, but you can simply copy these folders into the same location on the new computer AFTER installing Second Life. Et voilĂ , you won't recognize a change. :)

Good luck!
