I used this site to do two of them.

If you want to replace with full new windows you're looking at a lot more work. I've never tried that but I know people that have done is successfully.

Good luck.

I just a month ago built a structure and put windows in... turned out, it is pretty easy... I just looked at a number of youtube videos until it made sense

good luck!!

I have tried doing this once but was unsuccessful and got an expert contractor to get this done. I found it risky as a DIY process.
