I don't think that is necessary. If you don't know how an operating system works then a book that describes in general the workings and functions of an operating system will do.

If you are writing code that will interact with the operating system at a low level then a more specialised book will become necessary (e.g. if you are going to write hardware drivers). However, if all you are going to do is write business applications then knowing how to deal with SQL Server will be much more useful.

As a bit of personal history... When I started writing software after a while I came to a similar conclusion, however I have never found out "how the Windows operating system exactly works internally" - I doubt anyone really knows as it took several million man-hours to create - but what did make the difference was sometime after leaving University I was introduced to the concept of patterns. I read about them and came to realise that I was already using some of them without knowing, but I found more that I had never used or considered before and a whole new world opened up.

I think the question you need to ask yourself is: What sort of software do I want to write? or What sort of software does my employer want me to write? And from the answer you can work out what you need to know to do that effectively. For example, above I mentioned that learning about SQL Server would serve you better in a business application world. Also learning about DirectX would serve you better if you are going to write games.
