💎 Step 1: Connect Your Trezor® Device

Plug your Trezor® device into your computer using the provided USB cable.
Your device will power on automatically and prompt you to continue setup through Trezor Suite.

At this stage, Trezor.io/Start® will guide you to install Trezor Suite, the official desktop application designed for secure crypto management.

🖥️ Step 2: Install Trezor Suite (Most Important Step!)

⭐ What Is Trezor Suite?

Trezor Suite is the heart of your Trezor® experience.
It is an all-in-one desktop app that allows you to:

  • 🔐 Manage private keys securely
  • 💰 Send, receive, and store cryptocurrencies
  • 📊 Track portfolio performance
  • 🌍 Manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, and hundreds of other assets
  • 🛡️ Control security and privacy settings

Without Trezor Suite, your Trezor® device cannot function properly.

🔽 Downloading Trezor Suite

From Trezor.io/Start®, choose your operating system and download Trezor Suite directly from the official source.
Never download Trezor Suite from third-party websites.

🧬 Step 3: Install Firmware via Trezor Suite

🆕 Create a New Wallet

If this is your first Trezor® device, choose “Create New Wallet” in Trezor Suite.

You’ll be asked to generate a recovery seed (12, 20, or 24 words depending on your model). This seed is the master key to your crypto.

📝 Write it down on paper
❌ Never store it digitally
❌ Never share it with anyone

Trezor Suite will verify your seed to ensure accuracy.

🔁 Recover an Existing Wallet

Already have a recovery seed?
Trezor Suite allows you to restore your wallet securely using advanced on-device confirmation.

This ensures your seed never touches your computer or the internet.
