Issue Summary
Hi, I have a site running Version 1.x and would like to update to 2.x. Should I be following the upgrade instructions located at http://www.drupalcommerce.org/commerce-kickstart-2/install ? I notice that you should not install kickstart on an existing install and would just like to confirm my course of action before committing and running into problems.
Thanks for your help and sorry if this has been covered somewhere but I did a search for this issue and couldn't find anything.

P.S. If this isn't possible what would be the recommended route to getting the site running on 2.x?

It isn't possible to update from 1.x to 2.x
You can either build a new site on 2.x and then migrate your data using the Migrate module, or something similar (not a quick task!), or just install some of the modules and themes that are contained in Kickstart v2:
http://drupal.org/project/omega_kickstart (frontend base theme)
http://drupal.org/project/shiny (backend theme)
http://drupal.org/project/commerce_backoffice (this provides most of the custom admin UI)
http://drupal.org/project/commerce_search_api (facetted search)
http://drupal.org/project/commerce_add_to_cart_confirmation
http://drupal.org/project/commerce_fancy_attributes
http://drupal.org/project/commerce_addressbook
etc. So it depends on the 2.x features that you actually want and need on your 1.x site.
