No, that’s 2,3-dimethylhexane.

According to IUPAC you always name the longest chain as a parent system. But this may also go “to the corners”. The loedges are the smallest with 2,3 and thus correctly named.
In addition, hyphens are set only between letters and numbers.

No, look for the longest chain!

It is a 2,3-dimethylhexane.
