Is it possible to convert a Windows StandaloneHVM to a TemplateHVM
without re-installing Windows?

I think so. To start the conversion, I would try uninstalling Qubes
Tools from the standalone first. Then create an empty template HVM and
copy the root.img from the standalone to the template's folder. Finally,
install Qubes Tools into the template.
