My brother is getting a new computer with two HDDs and one SSD. The OS is on the SSD but I'm taking the SSD for my computer, which has one HDD with OS and everything else on it.
What would be the easiest way to have the SSD with my windows in my computer and one of his HDDs containing windows?

Your brother is very nice to you.
Use a utility like Acronis to clone his SSD to one of the HHDs, assuming that they are empty at the moment. Remove the SSD and boot the machine from the HDD. If that works...

Either wipe the SSD, put it in your machine AS THE ONLY DRIVE, and re-install windows (this is preferable), OR
use the same utility to clone your system drive to the SSD (if the SSD has enough room)
