Open Photos

Go to: Photos > Settings > iCloud and enable iCloud photos

You may need to ensure that your library is the system library at Photos > Settings > General

What happens when you try to turn the switch on? Are you getting an error message?

Photos will not allow you to turn iCloud Photos on, if the library is too large for your free cloud storage. Or if the library is on an incompatible external drive.
