Hello. I switched from Microgynon 21 to Orlifique. The doctor advised me to finish the microgynon so I took it for 21 days, 7 days off and 8 days I started new pills. Both drugs are two-component. On the 6th day of taking it, my partner and I had sex and we didn't use a condom for a while. Was I protected? Is there a high risk of pregnancy?

In this scenario, there is a small risk of pregnancy because contraceptive protection is maintained.
You did the right thing by starting to take the "new pill" after the 7-day break - which is when you usually took your first contraceptive pill.
If you are concerned about this situation, it is always a good idea to consult a doctor who can give you more personalized advice. If you do not have the opportunity to take advantage of the advice, I am attaching a link to the online teleconsultation:

I think it's ok, such a change after the break is acceptable.
