It seems that Cortana is not yet enabled that's why you're unable to activate it. To enable it, please follow these steps:

• Click the Windows key and select All apps.
• Scroll down to Cortana and click it.
• Select Use Cortana and click Yes.

Once enabled, you can set Cortana to do some things for you. Check out the link,
