You can expand the OS or data disk to 4TB now. That's the best way assuming 4TB will be enough for your use case, otherwise, I suggest creating a virtual disk with Storage Spaces using multiple data disks and copying the content over.

After that, you also have to expand the disk in the operating system.

If the partition style for your disk is set to MBR, then 2TB will be the maximum size supported, no matter what you have in Azure. To be able to use 4TB disks in a single partition, you need to use GPT.
