Find your main DW folder. You should see the dangerouswaters.exe and the dangerouswaters.ico files. Look below them and you'll also see dangerouswaters.ini.
You may need to set file types for .ini files in Win10. Make SURE you open and save .ini files
only with notepad.
Click open the .ini file and look for the following:
[Graphics]
.MapStretch No
.ScreenStretchQuality 3
.ParticleMax 500
.ParticleRate 5
.LocalLights Yes
.TransparentWater No
.WantRain Yes
.Disable3D No
.Want3DClouds Yes
.WantVegetation Yes
.AdapterID 0
.DeviceID 0
.ModeID 3
.DetailTextures Yes
.BlendTextures Yes
.Caustics Yes
.WaterParticles Yes
.WaterReflectionQuality 3
.WaterQuality 4
.WaterDrawMethod 1
.CameraFOV 60
.WantShadows Yes
.ModelDetailTex Yes
.RunInWindow No
.Gamma ""
.SoftwareCursor No
Your line should be set to 0 right now. Change it to 3 and save* the file. With some GPUs you may be able to run in Mode 4 but many can't and Mode 3 still looks pretty good.
Mode 4 also tends to be less stable. BTW, feel free to use the rest of the settings listed above.
*-Win10 might treat your .ini file as "protected" and make it a pain to save your work. If that happens, just Copy the .ini out to your desktop and make the change and save it. Then move that file back into your main DW folder and say "yes" to "overwrite?".
