windows in unconditioned attic

My gable-roofed, unconditioned attic has lots of cellulose insulation and a single-pane window at either gable. The windows are extremely old and drafty – but does that matter in an unconditioned attic? Should I replace them? I live in eastern Canada.
Thanks.

AN,
No. As long as they don't leak, they are fine as they are.
Thank you!
