Of course, savestates are what makes it a rerecording environment. However, Hourglass savestates tend to have problems in Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 depending on the game. Test saving and loading states on your main operating system first, and if savestates cause the game to crash, try it on a Windows XP computer or virtual machine.

By default, states 1-10 are set to the number keys, and saving to each one is Shift+(that key). You can set them to different keys by going to Input>Configure Hotkeys.

I would love proper savestate support for Windows 7. Will the upcoming Hourglass Ressurection have good compatibility for windows 7 and better savestate support?

Savestates will have better load-checks so they will crash less, that's all we can promise for the first version. If something crashes while saving a state, it will keep doing so for now.
