Will reverting to the old bios version damage the device?

[Intel Core i5-1035G1]

I want to revert to the old BIOS version but I'm not sure if this action will damage my laptop.
These are all manufacturer BIOS versions (I have the newest version) :

Why do you want to revert (roll back) to an older version?

Did you previously have the older version? Did it work fine? And if it did work fine, why did you upgrade?

Have you looked to see if there is an even newer version available?

Have you tried resetting this version?

Note is is very rare for a new version to cause problems. But it does occasionally happen. However, when it does, the maker typically soon learns of the problem and then releases a newer version to fix those problems.

To answer your specific question, rolling back to older BIOS versions will not "damage" the device. However, rolling back may re-introduce a bug a newer version was meant to fix. Or rolling back may remove performance improvements a newer version added. Or rolling back may remove support for a device, function or feature the later BIOS versions added.

Ditto what Bill has said and note that you could well brick it. Think very carefully about whether you reaonly want to do this.

Sometimes if the new bios is beta, it may not allow reverting to old versions.

Sometimes it will tell you the version that you are using is the latest version and won't let you proceed.
