Reconnecting Ledger After Changing Computers | Install, Recognition, and Account View Recovery

After changing computers, reconnecting Ledger usually means installing Ledger Wallet on the new computer, recognizing the device, and restoring the account view in the app. It does not mean repeating the device initialization or rewriting the recovery phrase.

Reconnecting Ledger after changing computers with install recognition and account view recovery

Install Ledger Wallet on the new computer

Start with the app entry and platform check. The Ledger Wallet download guide is the right reference for confirming the app path before connecting the device.

Connect the device and check recognition

Unlock the device and connect it to the new computer. If recognition does not happen cleanly, use the USB connection checklist and the app-page checks in the device opening guide.

Recover the account view inside Ledger Wallet

Once the device is recognized, add or restore the account view in Ledger Wallet. For account-page behavior, the account adding guide gives a focused follow-up without turning the task into new device setup.

Record the new computer state

Finish by noting the computer, app version, device recognition state, account page result, and any version prompt. If a prompt appears, compare it with the update-layer guide.
