It was just a run-of-the-mill micro USB cable, which I had already tried myself. To make matters worse, the cable came from Canada, so I had to overpay for shipping, not to mention the foreign transaction fee on my credit card. I wrote back to RCA support.
So this time RCA sent the correct cable my way for no additional charge. Today the cable arrived, and it is indeed special. The blue end that goes to the tablet appears to be a USB 3. So there are extra pins for USB 3. I dunno. I think they just used a 3. I think there must be something special about the cable other than just being an A-to-A cable; why else would they mark which end is which? For reference for readers, here are the instructions RCA provided me for using the cable:.
As soon as you do this, your PC should recognize the tablet. I can confirm that if you start with the tablet turned off and then plug in the cable, it does seem to work properly and enumerate as a USB device on the computer as soon as you turn the tablet on. If you unplug the USB cable, you do end up having to power the tablet off in order to reconnect the USB, so if you do Android debugging, it would be smart to set up Wi-Fi debugging using the steps on this StackOverflow answer.
The only site I could locate which actually provided information on the problem. I suppose from all you said, I need to contact RCA and get a special, mystery cable in order to connect the two devices!
Thanks a lot. Thank you for all the effort and frustration you went through with this. Not many people would have kept pursuing this issue and would give up! Myself included. Thank you so much for sharing!

Oct 20, 1 0 10 0. Apr 6, 25, , 13, If you mean to download it and change the tablet from Android to Windows, I would have to say no. If you are asking if you can download one of those versions of Windows to the tablet so you can install it on something else like a computer , I would say it depends on how much space is on the tablet, but it is likely there will not be enough.
