Yes, you are correct.

 

After installing BIOS vF.29 you are prevented from going back to an earlier version as indicated in the release notes:

- Due to the security updates installed by this BIOS update, previous BIOS versions cannot be reinstalled after this BIOS update is run.

 

If there is a problem, you will have to hope that HP addresses any issues with a future BIOS update.
