Cannot find libeay32.lib and ssleay32.lib files when setting up openssl on windows x64

Question

So I am trying to use openssl inside Visual Studio for some encryption project. These are the steps I did until now:

Download Win64 OpenSSL v1.1.1b from here.
Set Additional Include Directories to point to the oppenssl/include directory (from instalation)
Set Additional Dependencies inside Linker to: libcrypto.lib
Set Additional Library Directories inside Linker to point to the openssl/lib directory (from instalation)

Now when I build I still get lots of undefined references errors.

From what I read I still need to include the libeay32.lib and ssleay32.lib, but I didn't find them anywhere in my openssl instalation directory.

I followed this links for help:

Aparently my only issue now is that I am missing this files. Anyone know where can I find them ?

"How to" out of date. Since version 1.1.0 OpenSSL have changed their library names from: libeay32.dll -> libcrypto.dll ssleay32.dll -> libssl.dll

I see now:

That's what I included for testing for Additional Dependencies and still errors :( I am using the .libs files

Do you know which one of those files to use for Win X64 ? I see there are 4 differents one: MD, MDd, MT, MTd

@Adrian, I've edited the answer to explain. Is this sufficient?

Thank you, I had thought that there is something wrong in openssl installation because libeay32.dll was missing. Turns out the name has changed
