If you installed the version that comes with Visual Studio - that would be the Express Edition. This edition installs using a named instance by default which is named <your pc name>\SQLExpress. It can be referenced in SSMS using a couple of shortcuts:

.\SQLExpress
(local)\SQLExpress

If you installed a different version - it would be a default instance, unless you already have a default instance. The default instance can be referenced using your PC's name or using the shortcuts as above (e.g. . or (local)).
