Why follow the official start flow?

Using the official Trezor start flow ensures you download verified software and follow recommended security steps. It reduces risk from fake installers, prevents mixed drivers or Bridge conflicts, and gives you confidence that your device is running the latest official firmware and Suite features.

Secure & verified downloads

Only download Suite and device firmware from trezor.io or suite.trezor.io. These are the official sources verified and maintained by Trezor.

Guided setup

Trezor Suite walks you step-by-step through PIN creation and seed backup. The process is designed to be quick and easy — no advanced skills required.

Step-by-step: download, install, connect

1. Download

Open the official Suite page and choose desktop download or continue in the browser. Desktop gives an extra layer of convenience and stability for long-term management.

2. Install

Run the installer and accept prompts. Desktop installation is optional — the web Suite works in modern browsers.

3. Connect

Plug your Trezor device into a direct USB port (avoid unpowered hubs). Suite will detect the device and guide you through firmware checks and onboarding.

Trezor offers optional 1:1 Expert onboarding sessions — a live 60-minute guided setup if you prefer personal assistance. For self-service, the knowledge base and official start guide provide step-by-step articles and troubleshooting tips.

Common issues & quick fixes

  • Device not recognized: try another USB cable/port or restart Suite.
  • Leftover Bridge software: if you have an old Trezor Bridge install, uninstall it to avoid driver conflicts before using Suite.
  • Firmware prompts: only update firmware through Suite and follow the instructions carefully. Always keep your recovery seed safe before updating.

Security best practices

Never share your recovery seed. Trezor will never ask for your seed online. Use only official downloads, verify domain names, and consider storing your seed offline in a secure place. Treat your device like a physical vault — it's the single most important tool for protecting your crypto.
