Chances are you're using either SQL Server Express or LocalDb. If it's SQL Express, the default server name for an instance running on your dev machine would be ".\SQLEXPRESS".

Might have been a good idea to mention that in the "What I have tried" box, instead of just repeating the question.

Open up the Control Panel Add/Remove Programs or Programs and Features and go find which version of SQL Server is installed. Without that, you're just guessing at what you've got.
