Virtual Smart Cards - Windows 8.1 & Windows 10

Hello,

 I'm looking at an authentication method which ties a user down to hardware, I believe virtual smart cards can achieve this, what I'd like to know is:

- All of the examples I've seen refer to a PIN, however in practice can I enforce users to pick a regular 8 character password for their PIN and virtual smart card?

- Is it possible to combine a password and PIN with a virtual smart card?

- I have a scenario whereby I want to lend out laptops to remote staff, but must ensure only authorized users login to the laptops. If I enable virtual smart cards and force 8 character pins on the device, does this meet the requirement? I want to ensure it's impossible for user Z to pick up the laptop, bring it into the office, plug a network cable in and login as he normally would to any domain joined PC.

Thanks
