Hi @Proctor, William ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!
You need uninstall current instance completely and reinstall a new one or just install another new instance.
Note: Don't forget to install with clicking run as administrator.
Here are some steps to remove all components of previous installed SQL Server completely:

1. Remove all SQL Server components from 'Programs and Features'
2. Backup the registry
3. Delete the following keys in regedit:
   --HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server
   --HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer
4. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall and delete all the sub-keys referencing SQL Server
5. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services and delete all the keys referencing SQL Server
6. Reboot the machine

Best regards,
Seeya
