Why use Trezor Suite? Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web app for your Trezor hardware wallet. It provides a secure interface for managing crypto, swapping, and tracking balances while integrating with Trezor Connect and WebUSB for device communication. The official Suite download and install instructions are published by Trezor on their site. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Before you start — Requirements & safety

Minimum supported Windows versions are Windows 10 (64-bit) and newer. Always download the Trezor Suite installer directly from the official site to avoid tampered files. The official download and verification steps are documented on Trezor's guides. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Step-by-step: Download and install Trezor Suite on Windows

  1. Download the installer. Visit the official Trezor Suite download page and select the Windows desktop installer. Use the official link for safety. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
  2. Run the installer. After downloading, run the .exe. If your browser or Windows Defender flags the file as blocked, this can be a false positive; follow the official guidance to allow the file to run (click the three-dot menu in Downloads → Keep → Keep anyway). Official instructions explain this behavior. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
  3. Follow the setup wizard. The Suite installer will guide you through installation. After installation Trezor Suite will open and prompt to connect a device (Model One or Model T).
  4. Connect your device. Choose to connect using Trezor Suite (desktop) or via WebUSB in the browser. If Suite asks to use a bridge service, note that standalone Trezor Bridge has been deprecated — modern Suite versions handle device communication internally and recommend uninstalling old standalone Bridge installations. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
  5. Wallet onboarding & backup. If your device is new you'll be taken through wallet onboarding on the device — create a PIN, write down your recovery seed and verify the backup. Backup is vital: your recovery seed (backup) is the only way to recover funds if the device is lost or damaged. Keep the seed offline and secure.

After these steps you'll be able to manage accounts, send/receive coins, and use services integrated with Trezor Connect. Trezor Connect is the library used by Suite and many web apps to talk securely to your device. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

Important details: Trezor Bridge vs WebUSB vs Trezor Connect

Trezor Bridge was previously used as a helper service to let browsers communicate with Trezor devices. The Trezor team has deprecated the standalone Trezor Bridge and recommends using the latest Trezor Suite (which incorporates the necessary communication components) or WebUSB where appropriate. If you have an older standalone Trezor Bridge installed, follow official deprecation guidance to remove it to avoid connection issues. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

WebUSB is a browser API that allows direct USB access from supported browsers (Chrome-based). Trezor Suite's web mode can use WebUSB for device communication, but for the smoothest experience on desktop Trezor recommends the Suite desktop app. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

Trezor Connect is the bridge library used by web apps and Suite to provide a standard, secure way of interacting with Model One and Model T hardware wallets without exposing private keys. Many web wallets and dapps integrate Trezor Connect to support Trezor hardware. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}

Model One and Model T — what to expect

Trezor Model One and Model T both work with Trezor Suite. The Model One is a proven, robust device that covers major assets. The Model T adds a touch screen and additional features for easier wallet onboarding and passphrase management. Both leverage Trezor Suite, Trezor Connect, and support WebUSB when used in the web app. The Suite guide covers how to set up Model One and Model T. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}

Backup, device protection and open-source design

Backup: During wallet onboarding on the device you will create a recovery seed. This backup is critical. Trezor Suite will prompt you through verifying the seed so you can restore the wallet if needed. Never store your backup digitally or share it. Keep it physically secure.

Device protection: Use a unique PIN, enable passphrase features if desired, and never type your recovery seed into any computer or website. The hardware device protects private keys and signs transactions inside the device, giving strong device protection against remote theft when used correctly.

Open-source design: Trezor devices and Suite components are open-source; the transparent, open-source design allows third parties to audit and improves trust. You can review firmware and Suite source code on the official repositories linked from the Trezor site. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}
