You didn't specify which OS. From your previous posts, I think you are using Windows. Here are some links to more advanced books on that architecture.

Advanced Windows, Jeffrey Richter - https://www.amazon.com/dp/1572315482/?tag=pfamazon01-20
Windows Internals, 7th Ed., Yosifivitch and Ionescu, https://www.amazon.com/dp/0735684189/?tag=pfamazon01-20

Windows Internals, Russinovich and Solomon, Part I - https://www.amazon.com/dp/0735648735/?tag=pfamazon01-20

Thread 'Learning Assembly and computer architecture for x86'

Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language.

After learning it through C, what would be the biggest issue when trying to implement the same data...
