 Cortana works once you have enabled her system-wide. You can access the search bar at the bottom of the Windows Taskbar by right-clicking on the Taskbar. Hover over Cortana and left-click on the Show search box. The search bar will now show on the Windows Taskbar. Within the Taskbar, go to Settings. There you can set Cortana up to respond to her name. She will wake up when you say, hey Cortana. You can also control whether she will respond to anyone or just you. You can also click to see if this feature is enabled by clicking on the Menu button in edge, scrolling down and selecting the View Advanced Settings, which is near the bottom of the pane, and make sure that the Have to Cortana Assist Me in Microsoft Edge option is enabled. You're now set and ready to go. To use Cortana at the Location Bar at the top of the Edge window or in the New Tab page, you can ask her questions and get immediate answers. For example, by typing the words, can you tell me the nearest restaurants? Cortana will provide you with a Google search of the nearest restaurants to your location. For using your microphone, you can ask, how old is Hillary Clinton? Cortana will give you the answer in a pleasant voice and you'll get a recent picture of Hillary Clinton, how old she is, and her date of birth.
