Widespread Squeaky upstairs hardwood

As mentioned in the title, I have a widespread squeaking issue with my upstairs floor which is all hardwood. It pretty much squeaks everywhere so I don’t think it would be loose hardwood or anything like that. My house is from the 60s and I have no idea when the hardwood was installed. It could be original for all I know. A lot of the online advice I saw has to do with either carpeting or first floor issues since they often say to look at the subfloor from underneath. I am a limited DIY person but am somewhat capable. Any advice on how to identify the issue or how to resolve it? submitted by /u/dfor1212 [link] [comments]
