With a tape measure?
Well, user certainly gave you some valuable advice! I also know that not everybody processes information the same way. So in case user's advise didn't do it for you I offer you the following link. Maybe it'll be a little better for you.

Good luck.
Funny...But I mean do you need to remove the trim around the window to get true measurements or can you just measure inside the molding?
You need to measure the inside...the part that the present window butts up to on both sides.
You shouldn't hafta remove the trim. You should be able to measure the opening at the top of the sash...when its in the closed position.
Measure it accurately...very important, of course.
Have a nice week...

Follow Joan Rivers' example --- get pre-embalmed!
