Impossible to answer when we don't know anything about your window. No photos, no description.
Most windows with IGU's will have a removable glazing stop on either the interior or exterior perimeter of the glass. On other windows, the sash gets disassembled by removing corner screws, and each piece of sash frame pulls off the edge of the glass.

That post has horrible photos so it's hard to tell for sure. Kind of looks like the removable stop is on the interior. You pry off the glazing stop and then the glass is glazed (stuck) to the exterior with either 100% silicone or 2 faced glazing tape. There are deglazing tools made to slip between the glass and the frame to help cut the tape/silicone.
And unless your window is "exactly" the same as the one in the other thread, your window could be completely different. Just because a window looks the same doesn't mean it is. The parts could be different.
