Default Hardwood floors on a cement slab?

installed engineered flooring (Bruce) directly over concrete pad. Looks
perfect after 12 years.

Pergo looks like pergo, real wood looks like real wood.

What do they do to install hardwood floors over a cement slab floor? We
have a tri-level home and I would love to do the family room in the lower
level. So, in reality it is as if it were in a basement. Is this possible
and what has to be done to the floor before laying wood? Or should I be
looking at some of the things like Pergo? The room can be damp at times
despite a dehumidifier being used in the adjoining unfinished room.

Thanks
