My house is on the concrete slab. Is it Ok to replace my old carpet
with laminate, or it will be too cold ? Is there some kind of
thermo-insulated underpad designed specifically for conrete slab floors
?

I would highly appreciate your suggestions.

Yes, it can be installed. Check withthe manufacturer for details. It will
probably require a vapor barrier.

In any case, it will feel colder than the carpet even if it is not. It is a
matter of physics of thermal transfer as the smoth laminate will pull heat
out of your body faster than a pourus carpet.

Yes, as per manufacturers directions. You will need a moisture test.
