"free will" is a mind's mechanism that exists only so that you could choose what's better for you.
Basically, you imagine possible choices and their outcomes, but only to choose the most rewarding(perhaps this is suitable term?)

becuz, I dunno, maybe it brings you lols and all the good stuff, who knows?
Given exact data about circumstances and one's motives, we could calculate every one's act precisely

as far as i know free will is the act of inhibiting inferior(evolutionarily older) brain regions for the good of the species(otherwise it wouldnt evolve into such a sophisticated form). so this happy monkey or example can choose not to kill other male members of his group and he can choose to help a monkey who fell down from a tree. he can even choose not to get the banana on the floor because wolves might be waiting down there.
so basically imo free will started with a way to choose between two choices and snowballed from there. If you want to know exactly how it physically works wait a few more decades
