What's the consensus here on replacement windows? Install into the existing finished opening or remove all the trim down to the bare 2x4 frame?

I'm thinking of replacing the bedroom windows for something better insulated against my neighbor's barking dog directly across from the bedroom.

The house is brick so I don't want to disturb the bricks but I'm not sure how to get the aluminum frame out without removing all the trim inside the window? Any tips?
