I look for guide how to setup Leger Nano with Electrum.
I find this guide in Leger website but it is too old and all pictures don't work also hi is for Linux and I search for Windows - can somebody help me.

I assume you have already set up your Nano on Windows. You should then be able to download and install Electrum then plug the Nano in and ask Electrum to use Ledger hardware wallet when program starts up.

No I don't buy yet but I prepare to buy Nano and I don't know how to setup on Windows - I don't like to use Chrome addon for Leger. I use Electrum and I will make new hardware wallet but I need some guide for do it. I read guide which I posted but without pictures will be very difficult.

Once you receive your new device, you will have to use the Chrome App to initially set it up, and to generate your new seed words - just follow the instructions on the App. This process is similar to Trezor and KeepKey Hardware wallets.

There are no ways to go around this initial phase, other than to run https://github.com/LedgerHQ/ledger-wallet-chrome in an air gap computer.

Once the Ledger is setup and ready to go, then you can exit Chrome and use Electrum instead:
1. Install Electrum for Windows: electrum.org/#download
2. If Electrum is already installed, start and go to File --> New/Restore
3. Select a new Electrum wallet name (ex.: "Ledger")
4. Select Create New & Hardware Wallet --> Next
5. Select Ledger wallet --> Next
6. Enter you PIN --> ok

That's it. Electrum will generate the bitcoin addresses that are based on your Ledger Master Public Key. The private keys are never passed to Electrum, they remain within the Ledger wallet and never see the light of day.

Ensure that you select NEW at step 4, and not RESTORE. You want to create a NEW ELECTRUM wallet file which will contain bitcoin addresses that are based on the Master Public Key of your Ledger. Don't worry, by doing so, you are not creating a new set of private keys in your Ledger - you are only telling Electrum to derive the bitcoin addresses associated with your Ledger.

If you select RESTORE instead, and enter your Ledger seed words, you will create a Electrum file on your computer that includes the private keys, which compromises the integrity of your HW wallet. This RESTORE function is to be used as a last resort, in case you loose your Ledger and want to transfer all the funds to another wallet.

I followed the steps above but Electrum says "Read Error". I had first opened my ledger wallet to the bitcoin application.
Any idea what's going on?
