When I visit my AVID account page and check for products, there simply is no available link to download a previous version of Pro Tools. So what now?????

Hmmh, did I just miss something or did I read it right that you are on Big Sur and using PT6 or PT7 as in versions that were made for PPC platform? Please check compatibility info here and find out you need PT2021.3 or later for Big Sur support.
