Downgrading a bios is about as safe as upgrading in that you cannot be interrupted or disaster will strike, but it is in essense no better or worse and is done all the time. I never suggest upgrading a bios unless you have specific issues that the bios update corrects.
Is it safe to downgrade BIOS?
Downgrading your computer’s BIOS can break features that are included with later BIOS versions. Intel recommends you only downgrade the BIOS to a previous version for one of these reasons: You recently updated the BIOS and now have problems with the board (system won’t boot, features no longer work, etc.).
Can updating BIOS cause problems?
BIOS updates will not make your computer faster, they generally won’t add new features you need, and they may even cause additional problems. You should only update your BIOS if the new version contains an improvement you need.
