Setting up your Trezor hardware wallet is the first step toward securing your cryptocurrency with world-class protection. Whether you're using Trezor Model One or Trezor Model T, the process is simple, safe, and beginner-friendly. Follow this guide to set up your device using Trezor Suite through the official link trezor.io/start.
Start by opening your browser and visiting Trezor.io/start. This page automatically detects your Trezor model and redirects you to the correct setup instructions.
You will be guided to download Trezor Suite, the official desktop app used to manage cryptocurrencies, update firmware, and secure your device.
Trezor Suite is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Once installed, launch the Trezor Suite app.
Use the USB cable included with your device and plug it into your computer.
Trezor Suite will instantly detect your wallet and prompt you to continue the setup.
If this is a brand-new device, you will be asked to install or update the firmware.
Firmware is the internal software that runs your Trezor.
Click Install Firmware and allow the device to reboot.

You’ll then see the option to create a Standard wallet or a Hidden wallet (protected by an additional passphrase). Beginners should choose Standard wallet.
