Assembly
My personal favourite assembly resource is the Chapter 3 in the Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective book, but if you're not into books, you can check the following resources:
Linux specific
Windows specific

Assembly Projects
After learning assembly, you can try some projects like making a bootloader or a whole simple Operating System. I have wrote a blog on this topic, here.

- Learn x86-64 assembly by writing a GUI from scratch
Operating System Internals
If you want to read books to learn OS then you can go in this order:
- The Elements of Computer Science (TECS) & Nand2Tetris (Lectures)
- Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective & Lectures
- Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces & Lectures
If you are not into books, you can check the following resources:
