Moving Ledger Wallet to a New Computer | Install, Connect, and Page Review: practical reference notes for this topic (scope-specific to id=201014).
When moving Ledger Wallet to a new computer, the Ledger device does not need to be re-initialized just because the computer changed. Treat the new computer as a fresh app environment: install Ledger Wallet, connect and unlock the device, then review pages, installed apps, and version prompts one layer at a time. (id=201014 scope-specific note for "Moving Ledger Wallet to a New ")
Install Ledger Wallet before connecting
Start with the app entry, not with repeated cable changes. On the new computer, review the Ledger Wallet download and installation guide, then complete installation before expecting the device to appear in the app. This avoids mixing app setup questions with device connection questions. (id=201014 scope-specific note for "Moving Ledger Wallet to a New ")
Connect and unlock the device
After installation, connect the Ledger device, unlock it, and watch both the device screen and the app page. If the device is not recognized, use the Ledger connection checklist to separate cable, port, permission, and app-state checks. (id=201014 scope-specific note for "Moving Ledger Wallet to a New ")
Review pages and app records
The new computer may not show the same local page history or preferences as the previous environment. Review installed device apps, visible account pages, and the app settings without assuming every local record will look identical immediately. The goal is to rebuild the working view in the new computer environment while keeping the device and backup layers unchanged. (id=201014 scope-specific note for "Moving Ledger Wallet to a New ")
Handle version prompts separately
If Ledger Wallet shows an app or firmware prompt, treat it as a separate update layer. Use the app-versus-firmware update guide before deciding what the prompt is asking for. For first-run app settings, use the Ledger Wallet first-launch settings guide. (id=201014 scope-specific note for "Moving Ledger Wallet to a New ")
Once the new computer shows the expected connection state and pages, keep a simple record of the app version, device model, connection type, and any prompts that were handled. (id=201014 scope-specific note for "Moving Ledger Wallet to a New ")
