Solution 1

1. Run services.msc [Window+R and type services.msc]
2. Check for a service named SQL Server (whatever) (Instance name would be here)

Solution 2

If you took the defaults when installing SQL Server, there are no instance names. If it's the only instance running, there's really no need to have a name.
