You can't simply "cut the concrete out" and change a window to a door. I guess you could physically do it, but your house may fall down.
Depends on how you do it (I'm an engineer). In this case we're only cutting the concrete out below the window, so it doesn't affect structural integrity. We already have double width windows, so plenty wide enough, and support beam is already installed above the window. It's a fairly easy install.
