Hello, I have a Specialized Turbo Tero 4.0 EQ and I’m starting to go more and more off road so I would like to have less air in my fork to make the suspension smoother, does anyone know how to do that?

It is a Schrader valve under the cover at the left leg of the fork. Just press a pin inside the valve.

So I press in this hole ?
 
What does the other side look like? It should say Air on the cap. You really need a suspension pump to do it correctly. These also have a pressure release button. Normally you would pump it check the sag with the O-ring on the stanchion, then pump it about 1/2 bar extra before removing the pump. This is because some pressure is lost when removing the pump. Under the fork should be a nob for adjusting how fast the fork reacts.
 
yes I checked and my fork is a steel coil, is it worth upgrading to an air one ?
If you are happy with what you have today, probably not. The big difference between the steel and air coil fork is the latter would be more light weight.
