Hi,
As per the issue description you are willing to use emoji on Windows 7. Microsoft added monochrome Unicode emoji coverage to the Segoe UI Symbol system font in Windows 8 and added color emoji in Windows 8.1 via the Segoe UI Emoji font.
I would suggest you to install the update provided in the article mentioned below and see if it helps you to use emoji on Windows 7. This article introduces an update to the Segoe UI symbol font in Windows 7 and in Windows Server 2008 R2. This update adds support for emoji characters and some control glyphs that are included in Windows 8 and in Windows Server 2012.
An update for the Segoe UI symbol font in Windows 7 and in Windows Server 2008 R2 is available
Hope the information provided is helpful. Do let us know if you have any more concern related to Windows. We will be more than happy to assist you.

I created a modified version of Google's Noto Color Emoji that replaces the Windows' default Emoji font, Segoe UI Emoji, upon installation.
You can download it at https://github.com/perguto/Country-Flag-Emojis-for-Windows
Well, it's not like Microsoft deliberately disabled the support of Noto Emoji. More simply it just outright does not support the format that Noto uses.
While almost all fonts you deal with are OpenType-based, there are several different colour-font extensions to OpenType – Segoe UI Emoji uses Microsoft's own format (layered vector drawings in COLR/CPAL), while Noto Emoji Color uses Google's own (bitmap images in CBDT/CBLC). There's also Adobe's "SVG " and Apple's "sbix" format.
Noto is originally drawn in SVG format, so it includes Adobe's "SVG " table alongside Google's bitmaps, because that's simple enough. But the Microsoft layered format is quite different, so I'm not sure if automatic conversion would be easy or even possible.
See also issue #43 "NotoColorEmoji.ttf not a valid font in Windows" on GitHub for a more detailed explanation.
A while ago, there used to be an "Adobe Type Manager" adding support for Type-1 fonts, back when Windows only supported TrueType. But I haven't heard of anything that would add support for different kinds of emoji fonts...
Maybe you'll like the new Segoe Emoji that Build 14316 brings?
Update: Microsoft says that the 2016 "Anniversary" update finally supports all the above formats.
Microsoft has finally added Emoji (2, at least) to the Segoe UI symbol font in an update to Windows 7.
Microsoft KB2729094 titled “An update for the Segoe UI symbol font in Windows 7 and in Windows Server 2008 R2 is available” is presumed to be made available through Windows Update soon.
This article introduces an update to the Segoe UI symbol font in Windows 7 and in Windows Server 2008 R2. This update adds support for emoji characters and some control glyphs that are included in Windows 8 and in Windows Server 2012. Note Emoji characters come from emoji-capable platforms and devices. The platforms or devices enable users to easily insert emoji characters into documents, email messages, or chat conversations by using an emoji picker feature or an emoji palette feature. In Windows 8 or in Windows Server 2012, these characters are inserted by using the on-screen keyboard.
Microsoft backports Windows 8 emoji for Segoe UI Symbol to Windows 7
You need a font that supports the new characters. I guess there will be an update to Windows 7 that included such a font. Alternatively you can install a font that includes the characters, for instance "Symbola" by George Douros: http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/. You can then finally see the cat "" and the monkey face ""! (In Firefox, you may need to set gfx.font_rendering.fallback.always_use_cmaps to true in about:config.)
I would like to find the redesigned emojis for Windows 11 in SVG form. I know there was a similar project for the old emojis https://github.com/notopsee/Microsoft-Segoe-UI-Emoji-SVG-Icons
Any help welcome!
Edit: These are the emojis I'm talking about https://emojipedia.org/microsoft/windows-11-november-2021-update/
