If you’ve got your new Trezor device and are ready to set it up, you’re in the right place. This guide will walk you through the steps using Trezor.io/start with Trezor Suite version 22.9.3.
Trezor offers two popular models for managing cryptocurrencies:

Ensure you’ve purchased your Trezor directly from the official Trezor website or a trusted reseller to guarantee authenticity and avoid counterfeit devices.
To start the setup process, head over to Trezor.io/start. This is Trezor's official setup page and has the latest software downloads and resources to help you get started safely.
Trezor Suite is Trezor's desktop application for managing your device and cryptocurrencies. It’s compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux. The Suite offers secure management of your assets and includes features like balance tracking, transaction history, and much more.

After your device is up-to-date, you can create a new wallet or recover an existing one. Here’s what you’ll need to do:
