This is not really a job for a DIY. And not a one person job. An experienced handyman may be able to do this. Definitely a window contractor can do this. It involves removing the patio door, building a knee wall, sizing the opening for the window, possible new header. If the window is smaller that the door opening, blending the outside with rest of the house. I have installed windows, converted window openings into patio doors and vise versa.

Get someone in to do the job properly. If you know any builders it wouldn't take long to do.

I had a second story patio door replaced with a large window when I had my balcony removed. I am a pretty good DIYer...but would NEVER attempt it, especially after watching what the contractor had to do. (I had him replace the balcony on two of three sides of my house.) You have to build up a pony wall to support the window, then put new siding on, not to mention building permits due to the change.

We had our french doors turned into a bay window and a window seat in our kitchen. So much nicer and useful. It was a job we hired out.
