# Connecting endpoint devices to Nexthink

This section describes the detailed sequence for connecting endpoint devices (desktops, laptops) to Nexthink.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Configure and install Collector on a single device**

Manually configure and install Nexthink Collector on a device to prepare it for deployment.

1. [Configure Collector for Windows](/platform/configuring_nexthink/bringing-data-into-your-nexthink-instance/deploying-nexthink-in-non-vdi-environment/installing-collector/installing-collector-on-windows.md#installingcollectoronwindows-prerequisites-3)
2. [Install Collector on a single Windows device](/platform/configuring_nexthink/bringing-data-into-your-nexthink-instance/deploying-nexthink-in-non-vdi-environment/installing-collector/installing-collector-on-windows.md#installingcollectoronwindows-installingcollectoronasingledevice-1)
3. [Configure and install Collector on a single macOS device](/platform/configuring_nexthink/bringing-data-into-your-nexthink-instance/deploying-nexthink-in-non-vdi-environment/installing-collector/installing-collector-on-macos.md)

{% hint style="warning" %}
Once Collector is installed, access [Collector management](/platform/user-guide/administration/system-configuration/collector-management.md) and confirm the Collector agent is visible in the environment.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Deploy Collector on employee endpoint devices**

Deploy Nexthink Collector on employee devices using UEM, MECM or GPO or Jamf.

For detailed instructions, refer to:

* [Installing Collector on Windows](/platform/configuring_nexthink/bringing-data-into-your-nexthink-instance/deploying-nexthink-in-non-vdi-environment/installing-collector/installing-collector-on-windows.md#installingcollectoronwindows-deployingcollectorusingactivedirectorygrouppolicy-1) on the [Installing Collector on Windows](/platform/configuring_nexthink/bringing-data-into-your-nexthink-instance/deploying-nexthink-in-non-vdi-environment/installing-collector/installing-collector-on-windows.md) page.
* [Installing Collector on macOS](/platform/configuring_nexthink/bringing-data-into-your-nexthink-instance/deploying-nexthink-in-non-vdi-environment/installing-collector/installing-collector-on-macos.md#installingcollectoronmacos-enterprisedeployment) on the [Installing Collector on macOS](/platform/configuring_nexthink/bringing-data-into-your-nexthink-instance/deploying-nexthink-in-non-vdi-environment/installing-collector/installing-collector-on-macos.md) page.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Deploy browser extensions on employee endpoint devices**

* [Deploy the Nexthink browser extension](/platform/configuring_nexthink/bringing-data-into-your-nexthink-instance/deploying-nexthink-in-non-vdi-environment/installing-the-nexthink-browser-extension.md) on employee devices.
* If you have purchased Amplify, deploy the Amplify browser extension.
  * [Install and configure Amplify](/platform/configuring_nexthink/bringing-data-into-your-nexthink-instance/deploying-nexthink-in-non-vdi-environment/configure-amplify/installation-and-configuration.md)
  * [Deploy Amplify to multiple devices](/platform/configuring_nexthink/bringing-data-into-your-nexthink-instance/deploying-nexthink-in-non-vdi-environment/configure-amplify/extension-deployment.md)
    {% endstep %}
