Hi, can anyone tell me if Electrum takes long to become ready for use, I have just waited 5+ days for Bitcoin Core to synchronise with the network. I know that Bitcoin Core (hereafter BCC) is a full node software, so I have been patient.

I wish to use Electrum as an alternate wallet.

Does the latest version as found at https://electrum.org/ work with TREZOR as a hardware wallet ?

Thanks for reading.

Electrum is a lightweight SPV wallet. So you can use it immediately after downloading it and it doesn't require you to download the whole Blockchain just like with Core.
