Removing hinged windows

I have an upstairs window directly above our conservatory and therefore not accessible by a ladder.

The window frame and openings badly need painting. When I last had it painted the chap who did it removed the opening parts of the window so that he could paint them and access the rest of the fixed frame.

I wanted to paint the house myself this time. Will it be easy for me (an unskilled and not very confident DIY-er) to remove and reinstall the window openings? Or, are there hidden pitfalls to hanging window openings?

The windows are hinged on the vertical and are double-glazed units.

Thanks
 
Simple job, it is as easy as it sounds, the only thing you MAY struggle with is the weight, not so much a problem taking the out its holding them, trying to line the screw holes up, starting the screw and finally screwing them in, 5 pairs of hands job, can be done though just fiddly.
