Default Pro Tools Le 7/8 upgrade

Hi
I purchased Pro Tools LE 7 probably about 10 years ago? And have since upgraded to Logic 8, now for some reason I didn't load the ignition pack that came in the bundle at the time? Now after a few weeks of trying to get my midi set up to work I've discovered I dont have any virtual instruments loaded, My current operating system is Windows 7 and I'm going to upgrade to 10 this week all being well, in regards to loading some virtual instruments or loading the ignition pack I wanted to find out what the best course of action would be to take, I've looked at the upload section on the avid site and dont see anything relating to LE 7.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
Many Thanks

The best suggestion I can offer is to upgrade to a more recent version of Pro Tools.

Windows 7 needs LE8.0.3(8.0.5 for firewire interfaces) so its time to come into the 21st century. Not sure how Logic 8 fits this issue as Logic only runs on a Mac Upgrading to windows 10 is likely to kill the thought of LE8 anyway. If you need to keep cost down, take a look at Reaper.

Yes apologies, I uses to run Logic pro on my mac 20 year ago lol, I think I'd got myself confused, I'm running Pro Tools 8 now on windows 7, I'm looking at what my options are now, many thanks for your help
