Is there an “easy” way to remove vinyl tiles from concrete?

Hi, I’m working on restoring a 28 year old house (raised ranch) with what appears to be vinyl tiles on the concrete that I want to remove. They’re not ceramic tiles so I’m only guessing that they must be vinyl. They’re incredibly difficult to remove so far and I was wondering if there are any tips that a professional or experienced handyman could give me for removing them in the most efficient way? I don’t have it in my budget at the moment to hire a contractor to do this for me so I’m stuck doing it on my own with the help of family, but if there’s a technique that might make this a little easier on us, I would really appreciate finding out what it is. The goal is to rip all the tile up, seal the concrete, and then decide what sort of flooring to install, but I’m nowhere near that point yet. Thanks in advance for your help.
Okay, great. But how would I know if they’re asbestos tiles? Should I hire someone to check them or since I was able to remove one tile so far, should I bring it in to be checked by a professional? I honestly can’t say for certain they’re not asbestos tiles, I just know they’re not ceramic.
