The putty knife and or chisel will loosen this in no time. Watch out that you do not damage the frame that is made of wood and therefore easily damaged.
All the putty should be removed with no residual bits left. You should only be able to see wood once all the putty has been removed. It may require a bit of sand papering getting the last bits of putty out. Now you can place the new window in the frame with new putty of course.
