1) Download the emails from Google Takeout, it will be in a zip format sent to you in an email.
2) Extract the contents and look for the .mbox file. Windows can't open it but Thunderbird can.
3) Move the .mbox file to your Thunderbird Local Folders directory by following the path below:
C:\Users\byron\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\dq567926.default\Mail\Local Folders
Replace byron with your username and your xxxx.default folder will have a different number.
4) Open Thunderbird and scroll down to your Local Folders and you'll see the emails.
