Once your Trezor device is ready, open your browser and go to the official Trezor.io/Start® page. This page will guide you through the installation process and help you connect your Trezor wallet to the Trezor Suite app.

On this page, you’ll be able to:

  • Download Trezor Suite for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux)
  • Install the necessary software and drivers (like Trezor Bridge) for your device
