If you look at the difference between a HD and UHD tv of the same screen size the difference is the pixels are 1/2 the width and height, so to "upscale" HD to UHD you simply use a block of 2x2 UHD pixels for each HD pixel and your picture should be no worse than watching a HD panel of the same size.
Is it, I thought all the 4K and UHD stuff states its 4 times the resolution of HD?

Anyway wtching HD on a UHD screen is never going to look great. Was the same when SD on HD first came about and people moaned that it looked rubbish.
