    Once again, I have this plant that I have been told is a type of cactus, I'm unsure of its name or anything. Can someone help out Please?

    Looks a bit like a Kalachoe to me, usually sold in flower.
    They can be a problem to get to re flower, so are best discarded, unless you are really determined, or just like the leaves.

    Yes, I think it is Kalanchoe blossfeldiana, commonly know as Flaming Katie. They prefer a sunny spot.

    If that's the only window you have, yes! They prefer somewhere sunny, but they're pretty tolerant old things, my Sister (Katy) has a big healthy one on top of her 'fridge!
