Yes, it should work. I installed Windows 2000 on a Dell Inspiron 15R-5537 (Haswell), and @Illen got NT 3.51 on a Skylake machine. You will either have to turn on ATA/IDE emulation for SATA, or integrate your own SATA drivers, which is what I did.

Check the BIOS first. Is it InsydeH2O? If it is, you're out of luck as those don't like 2K's ACPI for some reason. Maybe it would work if the XP ACPI 2.0 driver could be backported to 2000.

I’ve gotten 2000 to work with InsydeH2O BIOS with that ISO.

You did? As in you have working ACPI mode? How? Would you mind linking me to the ISO and/or telling me how you got ACPI working please.
