From macOS Utilities, launch Disk Utility. Then click View > Show All Devices.

Now, in the left pane, you should see a list of drive devices and volumes. The top most device is the startup drive and the indented items below will be containers (if using APFS) and volumes.

The standard name for the Mac's startup volume is "Macintosh HD".


Are you trying to reinstall the macOS on your computer?
