Hello, I have several windows that are starting to have the side latches break. I have 5 Windows that use these side latches. I'd prefer to just replace them all. So 10 total. If any further information is needed please let me know. Thank you.

You need to remove your top tilt latches to compare them to our 26-243 and 26-244. See our media guide for help, if you have trouble removing them.

Well my next question or search was to see what advice you have on how to tilt window in to give access to replacing these latches when one or both are broken. One window has both, I have three windows with one broken and couldn't get any of them to tilt in yesterday.

If the tilt latches are broken then there's nothing holding the window up in the first place. If anything they should be falling in on their own. If your windows are for whatever reason stuck, then the issue goes beyond just the tilt latches. In that case I would advise you contact a professional to come out and see what might be jamming the window up.
