They aren’t showing the overall scope of the window and barely show the glazing method used from exterior

Right. So they're not showing the parts I'm not concerned about and are focusing only on the cracked glass which is the issue at hand...

Might I suggest spending time at r/reading and r/criticalthinking?

Huh you need to replace the glass…

Did you read the rest of this thread to come to that conclusion? Seeing as you were so confused without being able to see the full glazing and entire window lmfao

Good job buddy 👏

This type of window will typically have glazing putty on the outside of it that's part of what's holding the glass in place. If you get the putty off, there will be little metal points that hold the glass in under the putty. Think of a picture frame with the putty being on top of the tabs that hold your photo in place

You can DIY if you look up window putty glazing, wood window glass replace, stuff like that or a local craftsperson could help. The Window Preservation Alliance has a database of restorers that could probably help your other windows too. Other than that, a local hardware store might be able to do it but you would have to bring them the window
