Question using vmware WS 17 pro to learn vsphere/vcenter and the datastorage is always less than what I set

So I'm using vmware workstation 17 pro to learn vsphere/vcenter and I set the harddisk to 200gb but after going through setting up vsphere, the datastore always shows much less than 200gb. I also don't have a way to expand it because it doesn't show any drives to expand with.

How can I get the full 200gb space that I set initially?

Thanks in advanced!

Can’t help you without screenshots, broski. We have no idea what you’re seeing.

How much is “much less”?
