Is there any reason why my old floorboards are nailed, other than

If it is an old house, screws were expensive when it was built. Nails
are also less obvious if the boards aren't covered.

As I will want to take my floorboards up in a year or so
I think I should screw the ones I'm repairing and replacing,
but what kind of screw?

I use 2" 10. Get a combination bit which drills pilot, clearance and
countersink all in one go.

Or use Turbogolds & a drill driver, no pilot, self countersinking.
