If you get to "No pending updates," then you're done.

>Hi,

>I'm new to Drupal. I installed Drupal 7.2 on Windows a few weeks ago. Once I saw the security alert for 7.2 and .3, I've been trying to upgrade to 7.4. However, I must be missing something basic. 
>
>I've tried following the upgrading instructions in the UPGRADE.txt file that came with the 7.4 release. I get to step 6, "Run update.php ...," but I'm not able to successfully complete the update. I get to the "Review updates" page, but it says "No pending updates," and there is no button to continue to the "Run updates" step. I've even tried setting "$update_free_access = TRUE;" in the "settings.php" file, think that this might help.

>MINOR VERSION UPDATES 
>--------------------- 
>To update from one minor 7.x version of Drupal to any later 7.x version, after 
>following the instructions in the INTRODUCTION section at the top of this file: 
>
>1. Log in as a user with the permission "Administer software updates". 
>
>2. Go to Administration > Configuration > Development > Maintenance mode. 
>   Enable the "Put site into maintenance mode" checkbox and save the 
>   configuration. 
>
>3. Remove all old core files and directories, except for the 'sites' directory 
>   and any custom files you added elsewhere. 
>
>   If you made modifications to files like .htaccess or robots.txt, you will 
>   need to re-apply them from your backup, after the new files are in place. 
>
>   Sometimes an update includes changes to settings.php (this will be noted in 
>   the release announcement). If that's the case, replace your old settings.php 
>   with the new one, and copy the site-specific entries (especially the lines 
>   giving the database name, user, and password) from the old settings.php to 
>   the new settings.php. 
>
>4. Download the latest Drupal 7.x release from http://drupal.org to a 
>   directory outside of your web root. Extract the archive and copy the files 
>   into your Drupal directory. 
>
>   On a typical Unix/Linux command line, use the following commands to download 
>   and extract: 
>
>     wget http://drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-x.y.tar.gz 
>     tar -zxvf drupal-x.y.tar.gz 
>
>   This creates a new directory drupal-x.y/ containing all Drupal files and 
>   directories. Copy the files into your Drupal installation directory: 
>
>     cp -R drupal-x.y/* drupal-x.y/.htaccess /path/to/your/installation 
>
>   If you do not have command line access to your server, download the archive 
>   from http://drupal.org using your web browser, extract it, and then use an 
>   FTP client to upload the files to your web root. 
>
>5. Re-apply any modifications to files such as .htaccess or robots.txt. 
>
>6. Run update.php by visiting http://www.example.com/update.php (replace 
>   www.example.com with your domain name). This will update the core database 
>   tables. 
>
>   If you are unable to access update.php do the following: 
>
>   - Open settings.php with a text editor. 
>
>   - Find the line that says: 
>     $update_free_access = FALSE; 
>
>   - Change it into: 
>     $update_free_access = TRUE; 
>
>   - Once the upgrade is done, $update_free_access must be reverted to FALSE. 
>
>7. Go to Administration > Reports > Status report. Verify that everything is 
>   working as expected. 
>
>8. Ensure that $update_free_access is FALSE in settings.php. 
>
>9. Go to Administration > Configuration > Development > Maintenance mode. 
>   Disable the "Put site into maintenance mode" checkbox and save the 
>   configuration.
