This guide will walk you step-by-step through downloading, installing, and confidently using Trezor Suite, from first setup to advanced settings. It’s meant for both new users and those migrating from other wallets.
Head to the official Trezor website and go to the Trezor Suite download page. Always ensure you're on trezor.io/trezor-suite to avoid phishing or fake versions. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Choose your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux) and download the correct installer. Once downloaded, run the installer and allow the application to install.
After installation launches Trezor Suite, plug in your Trezor device (Model One or Model T) via USB. The Suite should detect your device automatically. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
If your Trezor does not already have the latest firmware, Trezor Suite will prompt you to install or update it. Follow on-screen prompts carefully.
The next step is to set a PIN for your device. This adds a layer of protection so that even if someone physically steals your Trezor, they cannot access it without the PIN.
You can either create a *new wallet* (generating a fresh recovery seed) or *recover* an existing one using your 12‑ or 24‑word recovery seed phrase.
> ⚠️ **Important:** Write down your recovery seed phrase exactly as shown. Do not store it digitally or share it with anyone.
Once setup is complete, you'll gain access to the Trezor Suite dashboard, where you can manage accounts, send/receive assets, enable settings, and more.
Trezor Suite presents you with a consolidated view of all your crypto balances, recent transactions, and portfolio performance—making it easy to stay updated at a glance.
You can send and receive crypto using familiar UI flows. The **Swap** or **Exchange** feature is integrated to let you convert one token to another directly within the app, via trusted third-party partners. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
