Neutered Windows update on a Windows 7 machine. Now can't upgrade to 10.

When Windows 10 rolled out we had a machine auto update and screw up everything on that machine. We tried turning down / off Windows update on our point of sale machines, but it was very insistent. We ended up using a utility to neuter Windows update.

Now it's 2.5 years later, our POS software and printers are playing nice with win10 and id like to update these machines before the free upgrade goes away. Unfortunately, the utility corrupted some of the win update files and the upgraded is failing. I'll be back to edit with the specific error code, but any help would be appreciated.
