Item 3

Installing Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is available as both a desktop app and web interface, but the desktop version is recommended for the highest security.

Step 1: Visit the Official Download Page

Go to the official Trezor website and download Trezor Suite for your operating system.

Step 2: Install the Application

Open the downloaded file
Follow the on-screen installation instructions
Launch the application after installation

Step 3: Connect Your Trezor Device

Use the USB cable to connect your Trezor Model One or Model T to your computer.
The app will automatically detect your device and prompt you to begin setup.

Item 4

Initializing Your Trezor Device

If your Trezor is new or freshly wiped, Trezor Suite will offer you the option to Create a new wallet or Recover a wallet.

Option 1: Create a New Wallet

This generates a new recovery seed ― the master key to your crypto.

Option 2: Recover a Wallet

Use this option only if you already have a recovery seed from a previously used Trezor or another compatible wallet.

Item 5

Understanding the Recovery Seed

When setting up a new wallet, your Trezor device generates a 12-, 18-, or 24-word recovery seed.
This seed is the most critical element of your wallet security.

Important Rules

Write the words on paper (never store digitally).
Do not take photos of the seed phrase.
Do not type it into any device other than your Trezor itself.
Never share your recovery seed with anyone.
Trezor Suite will never ask for your seed; only the device shows it.

Why the Recovery Seed Matters

If you lose your Trezor, your recovery seed allows you to restore your wallet and access your crypto on a new device.
If someone else gets your seed, they can steal your funds.

Item 6

Updating Firmware

After initializing, Trezor Suite may prompt you to update the firmware on your device.

Why Firmware Updates Are Important

Security patches
New coin support
Performance improvements
Interface enhancements

How to Update

Keep the device connected
Follow on-screen instructions
Approve firmware installation on the hardware device

Never install firmware updates from unofficial websites.
