You need to have

1) SQL Server 2012 and higher on Enterprise Edition

2) Windows Server Failover Cluster

3) Databases in FULL recovery model

4) Databases need to have at least one FULL database backup

Hi KISIRI,

In addition to other post, you can add a database to an existing AlwaysOn availability group by using the Add Database to Availability Group Wizard , Transact-SQL, or PowerShell in SQL Server. For more details, please review the following article.
