Frequently asked questions
Is this the official Ledger website?
No. This page is an unofficial educational resource. Always verify you’re on the official Ledger domain before downloading anything.
How do I verify the installer?
After downloading, compute the SHA256 and compare to the value published by Ledger. Optionally, verify the PGP signature using Ledger’s public key.
My Ledger isn’t detected on Windows
Try a different USB data cable/port, close other wallet apps, install the USB drivers if prompted, and unlock the device. Reboot if needed.
Can I restore accounts on a new computer?
Yes. Reinstall Ledger Live and connect your hardware wallet. Your assets live on‑chain; accounts will resync once you add them back.
Does Ledger Live hold my keys?
No. Keys never leave your Ledger device. Ledger Live is the interface to create addresses and sign transactions on the device.
