I'd say we have conditioned free will. First by the forces of the universe and regularity of pattern. If you could "free will" the structure of your brain, you'll probably end your experience here, just as if a bird could free choice the shape of it's wing, it would probably fall out of the sky in short order.
In other words there are certain things necessary for choice to exist in the first place, one cannot go beyond them.
There are also 4d inertial influence of culture/upbringing that predispose our choice/belief in one direction vs another and many people here have experienced the exercise of freely willed choices that have over come those belief/idea inertias.
The degrees of freedom of will are based on knowledge of possible choices and power to move from one choice to another.
Because we all have differing levels of knowledge (many perceived choices vs few) and different levels of volitional power (some have a low threshold of movement and low inertia to overcome, others have a high threshold and greater inertia to overcome, if they even can), we all have different degree of "free will"
One cannot choose what one does not know exists.
