You wouldn't lose them as they are on the hard drive.

If you're changing the motherboard though, it's best to do a clean install of the OS you're using, as it helps save any problems in the future with compatabilty and stability.

I'd back everything up and then install the new MOBO, then install the clean OS, then put all your files back on.
