Can't import SQL Server Databases into Power Query

For 2.06 Importing from Database (SQL), I tried following the instructions including using the Computer Name as the Server name.

However, I get the error box that the SQL Server database can't be found. Cannot-import-SQL-Server-into-Power-Query.PNG

It could be that I don't have SQL Server installed on my laptop. I tried to download SQL Server from Microsoft:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/sql-server/sql-server-downloads

The issue is the latest version 2017 does not work with my operating system, Windows 7.

What should I do with this? I did download some SQL Server databases but am unable to access them to do the exercise.
