You should create a class that defines your context, and then you have to override the OnModelCreating method. Try this:

public class MyContext: DbContext
{
     protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
     {
       modelBuilder.Entity<Order>().HasKey(x => x.OrderId);
       base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder);
     }
}

In you DbContext-class you can override OnModelCreating like this

protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
    modelBuilder.Entity<Order>.HasKey(x => x.OrderId);
    base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder);
}
