When I try to activate my windows 7 I am unable to do it.

Obviously your "friend" provided you a copy that is unusable. It may be a bootleg copy or it may have already been installed on another computer and cannot be installed and activated on your computer.Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
