Someone has already made Windows 2000. Most likely, it was a huge team of highly qualified software engineers, coders, designers, testers and other staff, and it took them several years. Operating system programming is probably one of the most difficult genre out there. You must have an intimate knowledge of how the hardware works, to interact with it. So this is not suited for beginners. I recommend to find a different project, that is within your reach and skill set, maybe tackle OS when you are more experienced.

You can make an OS by making the individual pieces slowly overtime. I have done so but it was not as complex as Windows 2000. Start with using a huge binary file an build your file system in it. It needs to provide all the features to read and write files or directories, plus display, copy, rename, or move them.

It could take you a few years to fully understand everything you'll need to know in order to get an OS up and running if you are a beginner. Take a look at this to see what you'll need. https://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Computer-Operating-System
