Username issues in Minecraft: Windows 10 Beta Edition?

I have the area where I'm supposedly able to change my name in settings. When I try to click in the box to change the name it won't let me put my cursor inside the box to change the name. Is this just not a feature yet or something because it is in beta still? If someone could help out that'd be great.

Can I learn Java on my own?

I'm a 19 year old college student. I'm starting my sophomore semester soon, and I'm going for Mechanical Engineering. It's what I've always wanted to do. However I'm quite interested in learning how to code Java. To be honest Minecraft is what made it appealing to me. But it seems like a fast growing language nowadays.

My school requires me to take some kind of coding class "for engineers" and that's fine. I've actually already done some coding before. In 11th grade in high school, I did 1 year of C++ and actually quite liked it. I was disappointed at how graphics can't really be processed in c++ (my understanding though, is that game engines are typically c++ on some level?), but I still managed to like it and I even made a (not perfect) Minesweeper game of sorts. Ha!
If you want to take a look at the code, here it is:

You can even open the.cpp file with notepad or notepad++. That is actually the hardest thing I ever made in c++ though. Haha. I did learn some about writing to and from files however. Most of what I learned is a bit hazy, but the core concepts are still there.

I would like to say that while my school does offer a class for Java, I do not want to take it. I have definitely more than enough on my plate and I don't want the responsibility of another class. I do however want to learn it in my free time (if I have any lol).

Can you point me to good sources for learning?

HP Pavilion dv4-5113cl max memory and memory slots?

I need to know the max memory/ram my computer can take and also how many memory slots it has, the hp site specs don't say.

The reason for this is I need 16gb of ram because I'm going over what I'm supposed to use with 8gb even though that should be enough. Somebody told me that I should only use 45 percent of the commit (gb) in the task manager and I'm at 9/15 which is almost 75 percent. It would be awesome if my computer had four memory slots but the specs on the site don't say. I multitask a lot and like to have lots of webpages open when I play minecraft online so 8gb is not enough I believe. I also turned off most of the visual settings on my computer and am on high performance battery mode. Correct me if I'm wrong about anything!
