Product: HP EliteBook 8470p Notebook PC
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I've been reading on the forum and saw that there is a file SMC.BIN, could someone shed some light? I know it's an old and unsupported notebook, but here in my region there's no one who works with BIOS unlocking and I really wanted to format my notebook for linux solus.

 

My notebook has a Brazilian serial, so the SMC.BIN file would need to be Brazilian, right? Could someone help me find this file please
