Welcome!

Don't be discouraged by the roots coming out the mix. As Bill says, your Orchid is a Phalaenopsis and this is normal. I agree that it looks a bit dry and Bill gives good advice on repotting and the media to use.

Have a look at our sticky on these Orchids - The thread "๐Ÿ—ฃ Starting out with Phals/Supermarket Orchids ๐Ÿ›Ž โœ๏ธ" in Orchids forum - to get a whole lot of information on how best to look after this type of Orchid.

Regarding the windowsill - Phalaenopsis don't like direct sun, so you may need to move your plant back a bit from the window.
