How to tweak CN3791 module to run on 4v to 10v range?

I have a CN3791 module, the 6v and 12v versions:

How can I tweak it to run on 4v to 10v input range?

That's not how these MPPT modules work. You buy them for a certain solar panel voltage, which is 6, 9, or 12volt. They try to keep input voltage at a constant 6,9,12volt, to extract max power from the panel. MPP voltage is set with two resistors. Seems like R1,R2 on that board.
Energy harvest is likely a lot less if you use the wrong panel voltage.

This module that you posted the image of uses CI CN3791.
This IC's datasheet states that the IC's lowest input voltage is 4.5 V,

CN3791 Features:
 Wide Input Voltage: 4.5V to 28V.

Therefore, for you to use 4.0V you will need to find another module to buy.

PS: MPPT Solar Charge Controllers - ElectroSchematics.com

The module uses a buck converter to charge a 4.2volt battery.
That's probably the main reason for the minimum of 4.5volt.

Thanks for the rplies.
It's fine 4.5 is very good, but can I make it work on cell voltage between 4.5v to 10v?.

No, The chip is designed to charge a single LiPo cell, and that can't be changed.
The only thing that can be changed is solar panel voltage input.
