Yes, that much I know and thank you for explaining it. I just still use the old terminology. However the question was not about how to setup the nodes. The question is can you make a standalone instance set as a primary cluster!? I believe you can't, but I am uncertain that is why I am asking.
OK, so you're asking about merging 2 existing Windows servers into a single cluster...
It may be possible, but I wouldn't do it for production systems. You would probably be better off building a new failover cluster and then moving the instances to the new cluster.
