This can be because only the SQL Server Management Studio is installed and not SQL Server. Therefore, go to this link or here to search SQL Server as you require.
Then download and install SQL Express:
32 bits - Download "ENU\x86\SQLEXPR_x86_ENU.exe"
64 bits - Download "ENU\x64\SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe"
If the instllation was successful, SQL Services should show results now.
Open the Services management console and look for the SQL Server service. The instance name will be displayed next to it. You can then enter .\<instance name> (replace <instance name> with the correct one) in Management Studio.
In the server name field click the down arrow and you will do this steps:
1 - <browse for more...> 2 - Click on plus sign next to "database engine" and check if your user name appears 3 - Click in the name of user -> OK -> Conect.
