You can use the same domain name for your site if you edit your local ‘hosts’ file to point the domain name to the IP address of your local server. That will override DNS lookup for the domain name.
I’d first ensure that the wp-options table has the correct URLs (two places). Then I’d temporarily disable all the plugins by renaming the local plugin folder to something else. You could also rename the active theme’s folder to something else,so that one of the
‘twenty’ themes will be used.
The intent of all that is to bring the installation to a base level. Once you get the base level working, then start adding themes and plugins back. And update everything. (Also ensure your local PHP version is 7.x.)
