connect ur ledger wallet, bkp the seed words of the ledger;  
Update the ledger live and install cardano app

Then install yoroi chrome extension and go to

yoroi - add wallet (shelley era) - connect ledger ( you will not receive a seed words for yoroi)

after this operation u can move the funds to ledger…

First time try with 10 ADA, delete the wallet from yoroi and connect ledger again… if u will see the 10 ADA then u can move all funds (u can even restore the ledger with the 24 seed words)

PS: u can create a simple yoroi wallet (yoroi - add wallet (shelley era) - new wallet (bkp the 15 seed words) and move to ledger latter

Cheers,

Hello faby,  
I here my procedure. Worked well on windows and android

- get ledger hw from a reputable vendor, when arrived check thoroughly the contents of the package
- install Ledger live software (on your PC) from [Download Ledger Live | Ledger](https://www.ledger.com/ledger-live/download)
- in the software, click manager and from the list select and install cardano application into the ledger hw
- install Yoroi - either mobile or chrome extension from [yoroi-wallet.com](http://yoroi-wallet.com)
- in Yoroi - Add new wallet - connect to hw wallet
- send small amount Ada to receiving address of your hw yoroi wallet. test sending out from Yoroi. Only if all works perfectly, send your substantial amount to your hw yoroi.
- sleep with peace of mind

Ledger Nano S has small memory, so you can install fewer additional wallets = store fewer coins. The most common wallets are preinstalled.  
Nano X and Trezor T should be better choice if plan on holding many different coins

THANK YOU. WAS THINKING OF USING TREZOR MODEL T. IS THAT BETTER? WHATS THE SAFEST.

Hi @faby165 only the trezor model t supports cardano. Trezor one does not (yet) support ada.

Why I personally prefer trezor above ledger is because trezor is open source and because the trezor model t has an easy to use touch screen.
