"When I turn on iCloud Photos it says these photos will be deleted because photos added with finder aren’t supported."

Turn On Finder Syncing, First

You need to turn on Finder syncing. Then, all will be set. This would be performed on your Mac.

1. Go here: Sync your Photos Manually Using the Finder - Apple Support
2. As it Reads: "turn off syncing in the Finder and they'll be removed from your device. You can turn off syncing for some of your photo albums or all of them at once."

"Turning on iCloud Photos: If I turn on iCloud Photos I will delete 1800 photos. I think these are photos uploaded from a SD card to my iPad while traveling. How can I save them to the cloud so I can still access on my iPad?"

3. Tap: iCloud
4. Tap: Photos (so that it is green)
