Mac pro 1,1 upgrade to 4,1 - mlpostfactor

[Sebct]

Hi all,

Not entirely sure where to post this but this seems where the threads on mlpostfactor are.

I've just purchase a mac pro 4,1 and want to my existing SSD that was in the mac pro 1,1 as the boot drive (Yosemite installed using mlpostfactor).

Is it possible to remove the post factor files and just have it as a standard yosemite install without losing my files.

When i put it in the 4,1 mac pro it just boots into OSX utilities.

Could i just install a fresh copy of MacOS over the top?

Thanks,

Seb

replace /System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi on the disk with one from a non-hacked Yosemite and it will boot

parrotgeek1's suggestion will work but your own idea of installing Yosemite over top works as well.
Word of caution, make sure to make the right install selection...(keep all existing files).
