Powerspec G520 upgrades
Hi all, I just bought a Powerspec G520 (https://www.microcenter.com/product/684525/powerspec-g520-gaming-pc). I'm thinking of possible upgrades.

Question about front USB ports
When I tried to use the front port to create a recovery drive it did not work. I put it in one of the rear ports and it worked. I can transfer files with the front port but there is no eject option on the taskbar under hidden icons, it was there when I used the rear port. Why is this?
