Ledger Wallet Desktop Download Guide｜Windows and macOS Installation Checks: practical reference notes for this topic (scope-specific to id=103306).
Before installing Ledger Wallet on a computer, first confirm the system platform, download page, and installation prompt. Windows and macOS show different system messages, but both checks should stay around four points: source, permissions, device recognition, and device-screen confirmation. (id=103306 scope-specific note for "Ledger Wallet Desktop Download")
Confirm system and source before downloading
Windows users should check that the installer matches the current system. macOS users should also consider processor type and system security prompts. If you need a platform overview first, read Ledger Wallet download and installation guide, then return to the desktop path. (id=103306 scope-specific note for "Ledger Wallet Desktop Download")
Read permission prompts in context
Windows may show administrator permission prompts, while macOS may show security and privacy messages. The check is not to allow every prompt or reject every prompt; it is to confirm that the prompt came from the installer you intentionally downloaded from the checked source.

Record unusual installation states
If the installer cannot open, the system prompt looks different, or the device is not recognized after launch, record the operating system, installer name, application version, cable or port, and device-screen state. This makes the next check narrower and avoids repeating the same installation step without context. (id=103306 scope-specific note for "Ledger Wallet Desktop Download")
