Reset NVRAM + SMC

Resetting the NVRAM is crucial to the refurbish process. As it resets all settings on the device. Such as volume, brightness, known networks, language and other hardware-related preferences. When this is cleared, booting into a fresh installed MacOS will display the fancy "Hello" screen and ask to select a language first.
