Using Microsoft windows, when i'm putting borders at my document, I have noticed that when you are adjusting the length of the borders, the units are in Pt. But the assigned format given by my professor is that it should be 1inch from the edge of the paper. So how many Pt are there in 1 inch? (need the exact value)

A point is a unit of measure in typography. It is abbreviated as pt. It corresponds mostly to 1/864 of a foot. There are 12 points to the pica and 72 points to the inch.

"point" is a unit used by typesetters.
There are 12 points in a pica, and 6 picas (picae?) in an inch, so there are 72 points in an inch.
