Hi,
If only run one instance try with (local) or . <---(only dot)
If your version is Express Edition, Default Instance Name Is EXPRESS ( this is (local)\EXPRESS or .\EXPRESS ) Or try MSSQLSERVER for others editions
You can see Instance Name on services console (Services.msc), the services name is SQL SERVER and in parentheses you can see the instance name example:
SQL SERVER (Production)
