I'd say go back to school - but with one reservation - and here you have to be completely honest with yourself - are you ready for it?
School is always going to be there - why not get a job in an area involving computers (you don't need qualifications to do many jobs) for a year or so, settle down and think about it then. Put the inheritance money in one of those savings accounts that locks it away for a year. After a year has gone, ask yourself the same question.
I think going to school is a great idea, but I know many people (myself included) who went before they were ready, and came out with nothing to show for it except some wild party stories and a whole lotta debt. I know that if I'd gone with '000s of dollars in my back pocket, I would have spunked the whole lot on drugs, booze and whatever else came my way. Hence the cautionary tone here.
One day, you're going to want to put a deposit down on a house - I'd keep enough of your inheritance to one side (whatever you decide to do) for that purpose.
