Can glueless hardwood flooring be installed over existing vinyl? What holds it down if glue is not used? I can lay vinyl both sheet and squares so do you think I could lay flooring? E mail works for me

Sure it all snaps together like a big puzzle only hard part cutting around stuff.
Gravity. The same thing that holds down a area rug.
Yes but we removed a vinyl floor when installing laminate and the plastic smell underneath it was incredible. I'll never put vinyl in another home. Clearly if it out gasses so much underneath some of it must be getting into the home air.
You should be able to pout it down easily. The main thing is to make sure the floor is reasonably level---otherwise it will be difficult.
Do not purchase Formica brand---that's one of the few laminates/glueless that's nearly impossible for a homeowner to put down. I tried, ended up hiring a professional---and many refused to touch the stuff.
