Pick a window in the backyard (that no one sees). Take a picture of it and go into Lowes' millworks department (or Home Depot if there's not a Lowes nearby), they can talk you through it. For a retrofit window, you just need to measure the rough opening. Pella makes the Thermastar line that's pretty good. I got low e, dual pane windows with argon gas. They make a retrofit window, so all you do is take the old window apart, but you leave the outside metal frame in place (I'm assuming you have stucco walls). The new window fits inside the old frame. Installation instructions are here, along with how to measure for a new window.
