Yes, there are low-level system interfaces for things like: virtual
memory, I/O, consoles, etc.  It is all well documented and has been
very stable for a long time (i.e. since Windows NT).

"Advanced Windows Programming" by Jeff Richter is the defacto reference

Everything is also documented in MSDN online for free.
