Screwed shut windows

I know it's a bit last minute, but I'm having a dormer window replaced tomorrow. The reason I'm getting it replaced is one opening doesn't open, and the other wouldn't stay closed. I just remembered with all the winds with have been having recently, I had to use a load of screws to stop the window blowing open. Will this cause any issues for the window replacers?

    I am sure they can undo screws if they need to.

    They will just use a wrecking bar and/or sledgehammer if necessary.

    That's a bit old fashioned.

    They often use an oscillating multi-tool, with a blade that will go between window casement and frame. It will rip through the screws/nails easily.
