Bay window. Do new double glazed windows have jacks inside to support the weight of the bay?

Bay windows. Do new double glazed windows have jacks inside to support the weight of the bay? The windows have already been changed twice and the tiled bay has already moved in the past. The existing windows need replacement with new ones. I don't want the bay to move too much?

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

New windows can be ordered with internal reinforcing, the bay cill can also be reinforced. Now the bay posts will be reinforced, and 'jacking' kits can be installed which fix down through the cill to the brickwork below, attach to the bottom of the bay post and can be wound up to take complete structural weight of the bay and prevent any more movement/disruption.
