I live in upstate NY in a house that was built in 2000.

I want to replace the cheap single glass basement windows with some
nicer insulated windows of the same size. How are basement windows
normally set in? I am hoping that the windows are attached to
pressure
treated lumber that is in the concrete. Could they just be set in
the
concrete itself? I think they are wood frame. If that is the case,
should I install the new vinyle windows with concrete screws (those
blue ones) and silicone?

What is best practice in this situation?

Yes, blue screws in concrete, and vinyl windows would work fine.
