Any USB2rs232 converter will work for connecting, as long as you have a correctly wired 505 cable set, and the converters drivers work.

I've installed the Prolific driver downloaded from Meade.

Many people have reported problems with Prolific based converters and W10. Using old drivers fixes this in many cases.
Prolific actually have a chip checking utility on their website that will confirm if the chipset you have will work with W10.
FTDI based usb2ser converters seem to be more robust than most
but using older prolific drivers may make your current unit work.
Lots of threads on this problem exist on the Meade scope based websites.
Its just a result of USB2Ser converter manufacturers not obeying the rules, as there are many counterfeit chips out there.
