Solution 1:

If you are using stable or beta version, you will not be able to directly update it. However you can update it to any beta/stable version but not to the preview version.

It is recommended to run preview version stand alone, so it will not affect your current stable/beta version.

We are not offering patches to ensure we do not disrupt your current stable configurations with our first 2.2 preview. Please download a full IDE image linked below to ensure you have the correct JDK bundled with the installation.

Note : We recommend you keep 2.1.1 and 2.2 Preview 1 installed side by side

Yes, to update to Android Studio 2.2, you need to download only IDE file from the download site.Just replace downloaded IDE file to your existing IDE file.

update and restart
