@Airhead and @user69121 have some good advice.
I'd also add that I'm not sure insulating / sealing round the windows will solve all your issues those units seem to have been very poorly insulated or installed.
Take the third picture you posted for example I would imagine that you have condensation forming up and down that middle trim piece between the two glazing units. It may be that you need to get the units replaced and properly installed to completely solve the problem, I realise that this is probably not what you want to hear, but bear in mind a good local supplier will normally come in much cheaper than the national guys like Everest.

Yeah at time of buying couldn’t justify having a gun. Trying to weigh up the future use but I might as well get one now.
The strips look like a good idea. No mess neither. I assume you cut to length and stuff in gap?
Here are some pictures (excuse the poor finish of my lining
You can see the black mould - so at the moment I’m trying to elimate issues with the windows. Downstairs bay is much worst is terms of area of cover. But upstairs could do with taking out and insulating so another project to do on my list. Plus the double glazing is probably quite old. There’s no trickle vents on them and some of the vent for the chimney was wallpapered over which I’ve opened up and fitted a vent cover.
