How to make Adobe Stock Templates work with Premiere Pro CC 2017

Running Windows 7 OS so limited to Premiere Pro CC 2017. Trying to figure out how to use Adobe Stock Templates (lower third effects) in my Pr CC. But the "Graphics" button doesn't exist anywhere in my Pr program that is currently opened with a project. (Nowhere to be found!) I was told to remedy by adding a "Graphics"folder in User>Username>AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Common/Graphics but that didn't produce any result. Also looked in the C Drive Adome Program files for some indication but, nothing again. Anyone with some ideas? "Graphics" should be there right alongside Media Browser Info Effects Markers History but it just isn't. Nothing in Windows>Work Spaces either. Adobe Pr Support throws up its hands and says they don't support Pr CC 2017 any more, so no help. (2 years old!) I don't think it would even allow me to reinstall. (CC always indicates Pr is "open" even when it is shut down.) I don't want to upgrade to OS 10 (if I even can) in the middle of a project. Any help is appreciated.

Well all was solved. I got some extraordinary help from an Abobe Pr Tech named Ankit who stuck with me to make things work the way I needed. My 2017.0.1 release was never going to work, and it was apparently impossible at this point to upgrade even a little bit to 2017.1. Maybe I could have done it at some point if I had auto update turned on, which I'm guessing I did not.

The secret of the universe was Ankit's realization that even in my caveman Win 7, Pr 2018 (ver 12.1.2) was going to work for me. He installed it through a download back door and we ensured all features and past projects and layouts were going to work fine. (I wonder why CC didn't show 2018 as an upgrade option?) Interestingly, Pr 2017 continues to reside simultaneously as a just-in-case, noting that once I use my projects in 2018, obviously they are not backward compatible. And noting that not all .mogrts work in 2018, but many if not most (of the free ones I checked) do, and they are flagged as such.

Thanks to all of you who took the time to help out.

Possible to update to WIN 10 for video editing, Rob? Perhaps set up a separate boot drive?

In the 2017 version, you should have an "EGP" workspace, which is the Essential Graphics workspace.

Is that not appearing in the Workspaces list?

Thanks for your reply, Neil.

I've checked Window>Workspaces for any sign of EGP or Essential Graphics or anything similar and there is just nothing. There's Effects and Titles but i doubt that is it. I've added Essential Graphics folders to a number of locations hoping the folder would pop up in Pr in the Info Effects Markers History line to no avail. I'm wondering if After Effects must simultaneously be installed for .mogrt to work or Essential Graphics to appear, though I read that AE does not need to be installed. I've tried the "erase layouts folder" trick and reboot Pr with no success. I'm wondering if i can simply copy my templates in any accessible folder like one I created in "Effects" (ie alongside transitions, etc.) I see not all .mogrts are designed to work with Pr 2017 so looking for one that is shown to work as test.
