You can still have free will with "locked in" events.
Time is a fourth dimension but think of everything that has and everything that will happen as a three dimensional cube for a moment.
Now step outside the cube and observe everything that has and ever will happen.
Does that mean there was no free will because it's all observable and was "locked in" ?
No of course not. It's a unique box of time. If you look around there could be another unique box of time with different free will choices being made inside it.
(btw this is one way they attempt to theorize an excuse for quantum entanglement, it "knows" the outcome already by also existing outside the box)
