Yes, it's easy. To pick one of the pre-clothed avatars, it depends on your viewer program, but in Firestorm it's in the menu, Avatar -> Choose an avatar. Of course, you can then customise your avatar to your heart's content, changing its shape, skin, clothes, etc.

You can also pull up your inventory and go to the Library and start trying on the different things you find.  Via the libary, you can even mix and match the various components of avatars - use a shape from one, a skin from another, clothing from a few - and then customize the shape a bit.  That will give you something somewhat unique to start with.

Thanks. I'm still new to Second Life, so that's why I wanted to ask.

For some reason, you can't actually do this anymore. For those avatars, you have to change your avatar first, then copy the non-library items to whatever outfit you want. I'm not sure when it changed.

Is there a way that I can change my avatar? Like say, changing it to Classic from a Vampire?

Look through some recent beginner tutorials for SL. I suggest those made after 2013. The addition of mesh clothes and bodies has changed things a lot. 

From the video tutorials you'll pick up lots of tiny bits we forget to include in written explanation. Seeing how people with lots of experience use use their viewer can be a big help.

No, Linden Lab.  There's no "s".  :)

Of course, she might have meant Lois Lane .....  B|

Lois did often manage to complicate things.

So if I look through some recent beginner tutorials, that will help?
