Get started with your new Trezor

Download Trezor Suite, set up your device, and move your crypto — secure, step-by-step.

How this start guide works

This page summarizes the official start flow: download the Trezor Suite desktop app or open the web app, install when required, set up your Trezor device, and transfer funds. The full interactive experience is available in Trezor Suite. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

1. Download Trezor Suite

Download the Trezor Suite desktop app for the optimal experience. If you prefer not to install software, continue with the Trezor web app (browser). Both options provide the same guided setup and device verification. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

2. Install (desktop only)

If you downloaded the desktop app, install it on your computer and open the application. Desktop installation ensures the most reliable connectivity and device support; web users can skip this step. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

3. Set up your Trezor

Connect your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer or mobile device and follow the on-screen setup. The Suite will walk you through firmware checks, creating or recovering a wallet, and writing down your recovery seed. The setup typically takes ~15 minutes. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

4. Move your coins

After setup, transfer assets from exchanges or software wallets into your Trezor-managed accounts. Use the "Receive" flow in Trezor Suite and double-check addresses before sending. See the Trezor transfer guide for network-specific recommendations. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

Security essentials

  • Keep your recovery seed offline and never share it. Trezor will never ask for it. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
  • Verify the device screen and firmware prompt before approving operations.
  • Use official Trezor Suite downloads or the verified web app to avoid phishing.
  • Consider a hardware backup (e.g., metal backup) for long-term seed storage.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the setup take?

Typical setup and firmware verification take about 10–20 minutes depending on whether you create a new wallet or recover an existing one. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

Can I use the web app instead of downloading?

Yes. Trezor Suite provides both a desktop application and a web app. Desktop is recommended for stability; the web app is a fully supported alternative. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

Where can I get one-on-one help?

Trezor offers personal onboarding sessions (Trezor Expert) and a knowledge base for guided support. Look for official support channels before sharing any sensitive information. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
