What upgrade patch ?
If you mean the annoying notification, in is kb4493132.

Upgrading Windows 7 to Windows 10 is free and doesn’t need any patch.

it might be the old & obsolete KB3035583 GWX patch that OP might be looking for
but why look for any upgrade patch for Win10 as Alex5723 said before upgrading to Win10 is free without requiring any specific patches

note that KB4493132 only applies to Win7 Home & Ultimate users as that one is not applicable or not offered to those using Win7 Pro & Enterprise. KB4524752, on the other hand, is the other EOL notification update for Win7 Pro users

Depending on the instructions you followed back in late 2015 the 3 KB were:

2990214, 3022345, 3035583.

Also several REG edits were needed to truly stop it from happening. You may want to check for the values, presence or lack thereof for:

REG ADD “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\GWX” /v DisableGwx /t REG_DWORD /d 00000001 /f
REG ADD “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\OSUpgrade\State” /v OSUpgradeState /t REG_DWORD /d 00000001 /f
REG ADD “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\OSUpgrade” /v AllowOSUpgrade /t REG_DWORD /d 00000000 /f
REG ADD “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate” /v DisableOSUpgrade /t REG_DWORD /d 00000001 /f
REG ADD “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate” /v ReservationsAllowed /t REG_DWORD /d 00000000 /f
REG DELETE “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\OSUpgrade” /v KickoffDownload /f
REG DELETE “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\OSUpgrade” /v KickoffSource /f
REG DELETE “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\OSUpgrade\State” /v OSUpgradePhase /f

NOTE: the values above are to BLOCK/PREVENT 10 from installing.

If comfortable in CMD the following SHOULD revert the  REG items:

REG DELETE “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\GWX” /v DisableGwx /f
REG DELETE “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\OSUpgrade\State” /v OSUpgradeState /f
REG DELETE “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate” /v DisableOSUpgrade /f
REG ADD “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate” /v ReservationsAllowed /t REG_DWORD /d 00000001 /f
REG ADD “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\OSUpgrade” /v AllowOSUpgrade /t REG_DWORD /d 00000001 /f

If you want to block anything Windows 10, install/portable ‘GWX Control Panel’. Works like a charm.
