Can I use a concrete mix to fill drilled holes in basement concrete floor?
I am going to put down peel and stick vinyl plank flooring in my basement. I removed old layers of vinyl tiles down to the concrete floor. I noticed the previous owner must of drill a series of 1/2 to 1 inch holes around the basement floor. I am thinking that the new vinyl tiles might start to sink where the holes are. I have a bag of Sakrete High Strength Concrete Mix. Would this work to patch the holes up? If not what would I have to buy to fill in the holes?

For ease of application I would be looking at Rockite.
COPIED:
Rockite® is a gray, hydraulic type cement that expands as it sets, and is specially formulated to produce unexcelled strength and bonding qualities. When mixed with water Rockite® pours into place smoothly, sets within 15 to 20 minutes, and when fully cured develops compression strengths in excess of 8000 pounds per square inch. Rockite® is great for any interior application. Use it to set railings, brackets, and other fixtures because it will not shrink, crack or dry out.
COMPRESSION STRENGTHS:
1 Hour: 4,600 psi
24 Hours: 5,000 psi
7 Days: 8,000 psi
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS: For pouring with a fluid consistency use 4-1/2 oz. of water per pound of cement or 1-1/2 pints for 5 lbs. of cement.
NOTE: Water and cement must be measured accurately. Important Notes: For Indoor Use Only. Installation temperature must be higher than +40 degrees Fahrenheit (+4 degrees Celsius).
Although it states for indoor use only, this remaining from a job I poured was placed in a butter tub and has been outdoors in all kinds of weather as a door stop for about 15 years.

- CRL Recommends Consulting with the Glass Fabricator Prior to Wet Setting Laminated Tempered Glass
- Not Recommended for Use with Laminated Glass
- Expands as it Sets
- Fast Setting, it Will Not Shrink or Crack When Used as Directed
- Rockite® is for Interior Applications Only

Id vote to use a fortified tile mortar, it's great for patching small imperfections in concrete, very easy to work with, very durable!
