Business seats on an old 777ER
I have flights booked on EK304Dubai-Shanghai and EK303Shanghai to Dubai. It looks like it will be a pretty old spec plane!
Not sure which seats to go for on this flight: Business is row 6-11
Row 6 window seems to be by a bulkhead with a screen in the seat rather than the wall? Does it make much difference which window seat I go for? Avoiding the middle section!
My other legs to London are on an A380.

My preferred seats are 7A/K and 6 A/K
Try to avoid row 8 (traffic to the lavatories)
Rows 9-11 A/K are OK.

I think that for completeness, I should add this:
In row 7, there is a missing window. That means that you will have to lean forward a bit to look out of the other window. Not a deal breaker for me, but if you are very keen on looking out it may be annoying.
In row 6, there is no window 'problem', but the storage is (even) worse than in row 7 as the storage 'ledge' below the screen is missing, as are the shoe pockets.
Storage on the J seats on the 77W is dire, I find it more of a problem than the slight incline of the seat...
So when choosing between row 6 or 7 you need to take those two factors into consideration.

There is window (in good location) in row 7.
I was flying J in B777 in the "larger" part of this cabin, row 8-11.
9 A/K was perfect for me, but this was already years ago.

Are the "3D" pictures on https://www.emirates.com/pl/english/......-long-range not correct?

Row 7 and 11 on these aircraft don't have windows, and the "3D images" on the website are inaccurate. In these seats (7A/K, 11A/K) it's possible to look out the next window along (i.e. just behind rows 6/10) but only by leaning quite far forward. I'm generally quite picky about having window seats but to be honest this isn't too bad. I was in 11K last month and it wasn't a problem, and am booked in the same seat again a couple of days from now (flight looks full in J) but not concerned about it. Think of it as a partial window seat.

I don't recommend row six if the TV is not on the wall.
