Clavis has the right idea on your windows. However sometimes "Kilz"(which is an excellent product for what you are doing) won't adhere to some of the older paints. I would suggest cleaning as much of the dirt and grime off as possible and then give a light sanding to rough up the paint or finish. that will do 2 things. 1. will smooth out any raised wood due to moisture damage and 2. give a surface that the "Kilz" product will stick to.. Also "kilz can be tinted . But tint it so that it is just one shade lighter than your desired color. This way when you paint over it the final cover color will be more consistant. This will be a lot of work but the results will be your reward.
