Thanks, I'll give that answer a shot. Tbf I've had problems with the USBs pretty since shortly after my buddy built it in 2014. I had someone look at it once and IIRC they said something about how the power supply might not be sufficient to run all the USBs. But honestly Mint has been running super well this time around and once the USB thing is sorted I don't really have much reason to keep windows around.
I actually figured out the problem. When I plug a USB storage device in, it shows up in disk utility as unmounted. If I mount it I can then access storage. But if I unplug it then I need to remount it in disk utility again. So I think I just need to apply an automount solution and then I'm golden.

Glad to hear this is the only problem you've! Do let me know if that answer doesn't help :)

Great! There's probably an option for that in the settings.
