It depends. Is it a desktop or a laptop? You typically have a much easier time getting older operating systems to work on desktops but can be spotty on laptops. Once you can answer that and tell us any other hardware it has can help determine whether or not Windows 2000 would install and actually usable.

These leaks don't have a significant utility, we need a Windows 7/8/10 leak, that would be very helpfull!

Other than being idiotic, all you'd need is a patch and my first statement would apply once again. Dream on.

It's possible, as long as you don't mind running it without ACPI. But you'll need drivers for your onboard SATA controller. Try this one: http://blog.livedoor.jp/blackwingcat/archives/813816.html

I managed to install and run Windows 2000 on a Z370 machine, in a dualboot setup.

Two things;
1. He's banned now, so don't bother replying
2. ACPI support is entirely dependent on the motherboard. And any 1155 board worth caring about it will run 2k with ACPI
