Trezor.io/Start — Starting Up Your Trezor Device

Setting up a new hardware wallet can feel complicated at first, but getting started with a Trezor device is designed to be straightforward. The official Trezor.io/Start page provides the starting point for downloading Trezor Suite and beginning the setup process. According to Trezor, the initial setup generally takes around 15 minutes.

Begin at Trezor.io/Start

For a safe setup, always verify that you are using the official Trezor website. You can visit Trezor.io/Start to access the current setup instructions and Trezor Suite. The official page provides options for using Trezor Suite on desktop or continuing with the web application.

If you are new to hardware wallets, the Trezor.io/Start setup page is the best place to begin because the instructions can vary depending on your Trezor model.

Download and Install Trezor Suite

After opening Trezor.io/Start, download Trezor Suite for your computer if you prefer the desktop experience. Trezor also provides a browser-based option. The company recommends the installed application for most users, while the web version can be accessed through a supported browser.

Once Trezor Suite is ready, connect your device and follow the instructions displayed in the application. Do not download wallet software from unofficial websites or links received through unexpected messages.

Connect and Verify Your Device

The next step is to connect your Trezor and complete the device security check. Trezor's setup guides explain that new devices are shipped without firmware, which allows the setup process to install the appropriate firmware during initialization.

Before continuing, check your package and device carefully. Trezor recommends purchasing from its official store or an authorized reseller and checking for signs of tampering.

For model-specific instructions, return to Trezor.io/Start and follow the setup guidance for your particular device.

Create Your Wallet Backup

During setup, Trezor Suite guides you through creating your wallet and backup. Your wallet backup is extremely important because it can be required to recover access to your wallet. Keep it private and store it securely. Never share your recovery words or wallet backup with another person.

Trezor explains that the wallet backup is generated during setup rather than being supplied as a default credential.

Start Managing Your Crypto

After completing setup, you can use Trezor Suite to manage supported crypto assets. If your device is not detected, check the cable and follow the official troubleshooting instructions before attempting random software fixes.

For the safest starting point, use Trezor.io/Start, follow the on-screen instructions, and consult Trezor's official guides whenever you are unsure about a setup step.
