teamviewer to fix a computer

how to install teamviewer in a computer of a non paying friend.
friend asks me to repair computer for free (I read the ee article against this) and I am stuck.

It would be easier if I could just repair computer remotely

does teamviewer auto start?
or does friend have to activate teamviewer every time

Have the guy install it and then register in his own name and email address and confirm. At the same time, you register teamviewer in your own name and email.

Does this require 2 email addresses?
It would be easier if I just used mine because extra work for friend

No email addresses. Teamviewerr uses ID numer.

Is it 0,1,2 email addresses?

No activation needed either side and Teamviewer doesnt auto start.

Friend has skype and if it as simple as friend copy pasting a 6 digit number to send me; this is okay. But if non technical friend has to do any more work that that, there will be problems.

Unattended Access , so you can logon any time: https://www.teamviewer.com/en/res/pdf/first_steps_unattended_access_en.pdf

Even if computer is turned off and restarted?
Will friend know I am remotely controlling their computer.
Does it require additional interaction for friend.
