Unlikely.

Dear God no. Get someone to refinish the hardwood.

Floating floors are bullshit.

Yep, but you can always have them refinished.

Yep. You can fill the staple/nail holes with paintable wood filler that will hold a stain/finish nicely.

I've put the laminate flooring on top of hardwood before and it's turned out really well. In a kids' bedroom it will stand up to all the wear and tear and preserve the actual hard wood for later.

That's not preserving it, it's leaving it for the next guy to fix.

Tommy, pics of old floor, or no diagnosis for you.

Not a problem, I still need to move a few things out and pull up the rest of the carpet, I only pulled up a 3x6 ft section last night.
