Does Office 365 contain Microsoft.Office COM DLLs?

On my new laptop, I am unable to add a reference to Microsoft.Office.Core etc. although an activated version of Office 365 is installed (formerly, I had used Office 2016). Visual Studio Reference Manager simply does not show any matching COM entry.

Does Office 365 not include this feature, or do I have to adjust anything myself?

Edit: On my laptop, Office was preinstalled. In modern settings app "Apps & Features" it is listed as "Microsoft Office Desktop Apps", but since I cannot find this entry in classic Control Panel's "Programs and Features", I have to assume it is an UWP app.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Did you use an MSI installer or Click2Run for installing Office on the machine? - Eugene Astafiev

Make sure that Office .NET Programmability Support was chosen in the installer.
