Can I easily upgrade between these motherboards?

So I currently own an ASROCK Pro-4M and everything was fine until about 10 months after I got it. Long story short, I have to send this thing back every month or so do to it breaking. I think my G.Skill 2133 RAM is breaking it, but it is on their list of supported memory modules so it should be their problem, not mine.

But I can't take it anymore so I am thinking of switching to this motherboard:

It basically has all of the same features of the Pro4-M except now I can crossfire! My question is: If I do upgrade between motherboards, will I have to re-install windows?

That would be a deal breaker for me because then I would lose MS Office 2013 (They won't let me re-download it...).
