I am a beginner in Twincat and have been playing around with it. I watched this playlist where this guy explain structured text and successfully runs a program on his system. However when I try to run on my system, I get error 0x1028. Then I read that I have to configure parallel port as IO port in Twincat - got no idea how to do this. Help please!

You don't need to configure any parallell ports in TwinCAT 3 to run TwinCAT 3 software on your machine.
Not sure what 0x1028 means, but if you're running a 64-bit machine (which you these days most likely are doing) you need to enable Virtualization Technology Extensions (VT-x) in the BIOS of your computer. You also need to run the command C:\TwinCAT\3.1\System\win8settick.bat (as administrator from the CMD)
You could alternatively run TwinCAT in a virtual machine. How you achieve this is described here: https://alltwincat.com/2018/06/14/twincat-virtualization/
