SQL local server disappear after uninstall SSMS 2014 and install SSMS 2017 - sql-server

I am planning to install the latest version SQL Server Management Studio SSMS 2017 and trying to use the same local server name which was on SSMS 2014.
So I uninstalled SSMS 2014 then install SSMS 2017. After the installation complete, I am not able to login to my local server by using the same credential.
I have checked SQL Server 2017 Configuration Manager, there is nothing under the SQL Server services.
And there is nothing under the registered servers.
Need help to retrieve my local server name, or guide how to recreate a new server name.
Thanks

LocalDB requires SQL Server 2016 LocalDB

I have written an addin for my company using a local database. I am now in the stage of deploying it to other users using a setup so I can set the prerequisites. So far so good.
The issue I am having is that for some reason the database requires SQL Server 2016 LocalDB to be installed. Other users already have SQL Server 2014 Express LocalDB. In the prerequisites of the setup I put 2016, but for some reason the download is not functioning. It gives an error on the download (hresult 2146697203 in the log file). I read somewhere that there is no redistributable avialabe for 2016 and 2017. So I tried it with 2019. This is downloading and installing, but my database is not working. It wants 2016 for some reason.
My question(s):
Is it possible to change the local database to 2019 or 2014 Express?
Or do I need another bootstrapper for 2016?
Or is there another option I am missing/overlooking?

SQL Server installation - SQL Server Management Studio is not to seen

I am trying to install SQL Server database and SQL Server Management Studio on my Windows 7 OS
After the installation, I don't see SQL Server Management Studio on my machine. Do I need to install SQL Server Management Studio separately?
SQL server installation picture
As of SQL Server 2016, the "SQL Server Management Studio" (SSMS) is a separate download. You can install SSMS 2016 and the new SSMS (current version, 17.4 I believe) side-by-side with older SSMS versions. But they are a separate download and must be installed separately. They are not "included" in the installer as an option like previous versions.

SQL Server Management Studio 2017 not showing databases that were created in SQL Server 2016

I had Express edition installed of SQL Server 2016. I needed to use SQL Agent Jobs. For that purpose I installed a patch of SQL Server 2016 enterprise edition but it didn't worked. After that I installed SQL Server 2017 Developer edition which showed me the SQL Agent Jobs node (which i wanted).
After installation i was able to see my databases in both servers 16 & 17 connected locally. Today when I logged into my system and connected the instance of the server I'm not able to see my databases. When i try to attach the data files located at:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL13.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA
it does not show the file in the popup to attach it. Although in the file explorer I can see the file. For reference I have added an image of the list of databases, i cannot find my databases in it.
Any help regarding it would be thankful.

You installed second instance (2017). You need to connect to 2016 instance (using /instance_name) and then make a backup, and then restore backup (+transfer logins) on 2017 server, and finally uninstall 2016. Or detach files on SQL 2016 instance and reattach on 2017 + uninstall.
Alternatively you need to choose in-place upgrade 2016-> 2017 instead of installing a new instance.

2.Update Visual Studio(from VS 2017 build 15.0.0 to build 15.3.0)
3.Repair SQL Server again.
Services added correctly, every thing is fine now.

How to run SQL Server 2012 Services

I have Installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 (Ultimate) , and it installed all the SQL files,
yet I can't find the SQL Server Manager in the Start Menu, like the old version, so I can't start the services, , or there is an other way to run the services, so I can connect to the SQL Server?
In Run window, type "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\mmc.exe" /32 C:\windows\SysWOW64\SQLServerManager12.msc. I did come across the same problem (Sql Server Configuration Manager is not in start menu) before, and I had to pin it to task bar.
SQL Sever 2012 service are installed via Microsoft® SQL Server® 2012 Express as VS 2012 does not install it unless you are using custom installer..
Once you install Microsoft® SQL Server® 2012 Express in your machine you can use SSMS and other tools to manage SQL services on your machine.
Use 'sqlserver.exe' to start SQL Server from the command line - MSDN reference here. Or you can download SQL Server Management studio as shown below - from this link.
