Disk Management - Free 2 TB / Unallocated

Hi,
  I have a virtual machine (VMWare) running Windows 10. I have allocated 4TB of disk space to this VM hoping to have two 2TB partitions. 
 Currently OS is on C drive (49.4GB) and I have E drive (1.95TB).
 In DiskMgmt.msc, I still have 2,048 GB unallocated and I can't create a simple volume off that.
 I wish I could have created one big 4TB partition, but I know it is not doable.
 But I thought I could create multiple volumes in one computer.
 How can I utilize 2048GB space in this virtual machine?

Thanks.

Can not create partition in Virtual Machine

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
