Getting Started with Your Trezor® Hardware Wallet

Welcome to the comprehensive setup guide for your new Trezor® hardware wallet, the premier solution for securing your cryptocurrency assets. The setup process begins at trezor.io/start, where you'll find official instructions tailored to your specific device model.

1 Initial Setup: Connect your Trezor® device to your computer using the provided USB cable. Navigate to trezor.io/start and follow the on-screen instructions to begin the installation process.
2 Install Trezor Suite: The next step involves downloading the Trezor Suite desktop application. Visit the official Trezor website to complete the Trezor Suite download for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
