I got this free when I ordered 5 new orchids and this one did not have a tag.

It looks like a dendrobium to me.

I would contact your vendor and ask them if they have identification for the free orchid they included. Maybe the tag fell off in packing.

It's definitely a dendrobium. As Khill said, the vendor may be able to help you with the ID.

I love the green pot in the background

How often do dendro's need to be watered I watered it like 2 weeks ago and keep checking it. The medium is bone dry but the roots are still very moist. The temp is about 86 day and 75 night I also keep a fan on them.

They need to be watered more than every two weeks.
The medium should not be bone dry. I'd start adjusting the schedule to once a week and see what results you get from it. How often have you fed it?

I fed it once. 2 weeks ago. I thought it would dry out sooner but I have 80% humidity during the day.

Also on 2 of the leaves it looks kinda dried out and the color does not look so good. I'm guessing that that is because I got it bare root and the plant is still stressed? You can see it in the picture. On the left side.
