There are two different versions of Lightroom with the full Photography Plan. The one you have installed is the cloud-based version, called simply Lightroom. The other version, which is the more traditional app that looks like all the online tutorials is called Lightroom Classic, which manages images that are stored locally on your hard drives. It should be available to install in the the Creative Cloud Desktop app.
