Default Repainting wooden frame windows

Hi, with spring hitting it's time to touch up the outside of my wooden
frame windows. They are a bit of a mess right now with some paint
gone and perhaps the first signs of the wood starting to rot. So if I
strip the paint off, is it OK to just prime and paint ... will the
wood rot stop - there is perhaps just a few small signs of rot - it's
not too bad.
And, what is the best way to strip the old paint off? Scraper? Paint
stripper? Someone even once mentioned that a pressure washer would
strip paint pretty well.
Any advice is gratefully received.

Thx.
