Any help would be very much appreciated.
It makes no difference. Avid does not care what platform you rin on, wether Mac or PC, as long as your iLok 2 with a license on it is plugged into that computer. Just buy the crossgrade from Avid or a dealer. You get access to both binaries in your account on Avid.com and can install both on as many Macs or PCs as you want.

Just follow the install instructions. You don't install Pro Tools on an iLok, it just contains an encrypted license key. Pro Tools 8 LE did not use an iLok but Avid will need your LE interface serial number to authorize the upgrade. Again just follow the exact instructions Avid will provide for the upgrade and install.
