System is only like 2 weeks old

Greetings. You are only getting to preparing automatic repair now each time you boot? Does the automatic repair process not complete?
-
Im assuming not. Once it finally does leave preparing automatic repair I get just the black screen that says Powerspec and the little thing just spins. Left it for 5 hours yesterday and still nothing. I was finally able to get into the bios but that was about it. Wasnt sure if I needed to make any changes

You can try creating installation media from another PC and try to reinstall Windows and boot from that: https://community.microcenter.com/kb/articles/77-how-to-create-a-windows-10-installation-flash-drive-from-a-windows-10-pc and then follow here from step 8: https://community.microcenter.com/kb/articles/68-how-to-perform-a-clean-install-of-windows-10
Unfortunately if Windows is not booting and you do not have a backup of your files, this would cause any data to be lost on the PC.
If that does not help / or if you are unable to try that, it would be best to bring the PC into your local Micro Center store to be seen in-store for further assistance.

Where do I take it once I come into the store?

You'd want to bring it to the service / repair desk, typically at the front right of the store.
