I've got a Lenovo Legion Pro 7 laptop and just updated the BIOS to version 11. Now, my laptop seems really sluggish—applications take forever to open, and my frame rates in games are awful. I'm wondering if there's a way to go back to the previous BIOS version or if there are other tricks I can try to get my laptop running smoothly again. I'm not super tech-savvy, so any help is appreciated!

Before jumping into reverting your BIOS, it might be worth looking at the settings in the BIOS itself. Sometimes, updates can change settings, like switching from your discrete GPU to the onboard one. It’s a good idea to check that first before going through the hassle of a rollback.
I’m not entirely sure if you can revert back. It sounds like it’s doable, but you might need to look it up based on your model. Just make sure you save the old BIOS version somewhere safe if you ever need to access it again.
Reverting to an older BIOS version is pretty straightforward. Just download the older BIOS file and follow the same update process you used before. If you don't have the old version handy, you can try checking Lenovo's support site. But also remember, your performance issues might be related to new settings from the BIOS update, so ensure you check those too.
I recommend doing a clean uninstall of your drivers and then reinstalling them. Sometimes, drivers are set up to work with specific BIOS settings and may need a refresh after an update. This should only take a little while, and could really help with your performance issues.
