Ledger Live Desktop works with all Ledger hardware wallets including Ledger Nano S, Nano S Plus, and Nano X. Simply connect your device via USB or Bluetooth (Nano X only).

Ledger Live Desktop automatically notifies you when updates are available. You can enable automatic updates in Settings, or manually download the latest version from our download page.
Yes! You can install Ledger Live Desktop on multiple computers. Your accounts are stored on your Ledger device, not in the application, so you can access your portfolio from any computer where you've installed Ledger Live.
First, ensure your Ledger device is unlocked and the correct app is open. Try using a different USB cable or port. On Windows, you may need to install drivers. Check our troubleshooting guide for detailed steps.
