Multiple Earth's and there's a clear age gap of about ten years or more so they can just say the QS you saw in Cap, which was set in 2000's, was the 10-15 year older QS we saw in DOFP and Xmen-Apocalypse.
No, they can't. The backstories are wildly different between the two for one to just be the older version in the same universe.
And that can be fixed with a simple "he lied" or "he was lied to" scenario. Tbh I don't remember QS's backstory much from MCU how did it vary again? I mean obviously besides the father being magneto part. They were experimented on by Hydra or something? Did it say how long Hydra had them? I remember the CA cut scene showing Wanda as a child and mentioning twins, but iirc they never showed QS so that right there would be an out for them to say he was placed with a woman(his mother from FOX) from Hydra to raise him. Then the part about him being Magneto's son could just be cover story for her to explain his powers to him without tipping Hydra's goal.
He grew up in some European country until a missile crashed into his house and killed his parents by burying them alive. That shit is too cliche, having it be a "he was lied to" thing is just a terrible idea.
No one said it was a good idea I said it was a simple idea. Not everything needs to be groundbreaking and revolutionary or brand new sometimes it's ok to go back to the well also the tainted memory thing is pretty common in comic story telling, people have false memories all the time. Maybe the whole bit with Fox is a past he created for himself in his head to help cope with the bombing? There's infinite ways to explain it that a better writer would be able to show you.
So the bombing is real and his life as an American teenager was a defensive mechanism? Nope, sorry, even more holes just created with that.
I love how you're critiquing a random internet users ideas of how they could connect the two as if I was an actual script writer or associate of the business in any form, keep 'em coming. An actual writer could flesh out the concepts more or come up with something better, but yes let's continue pretending my proposed simplified methods are actual routes they'll take.

Quicksilver plays huge parts in the Days of Future Past and Apocalypse movies. For it all to be imaginary, that would mean Quicksilver's memories include every scene he isn't in, such as Wolverine waking up naked in the 70s, Erik watching the file footage on the Sentinels, the Sentinel attacks in the future, etc. It would reduce everything in the previous movies to the dreams and disillusions of Quicksilver. Why would that ever be a viable option just to explain the differences in their characters?
Because the MCU doesn't plan to recognize the events of the X-Men titles anyway. They're not going to make mention of how the entire world was almost destroyed for mutant kind and not a single Avenger bothered to even check it out and report despite it happening on American soil. Did you read the article? MCU just wanted to be allowed to incorporate mutants into their universe, they don't intend to form their universe to fit Fox's.
Okay, and? I'm not talking about what they're doing, I was talking about the specific idea you proposed.
The idea I proposed was how could they explain the difference between the two looks of the character. You're the one who incorporated that into how do the two universes stories coalesce, but we both know you're not one who's unfamiliar with placing his own topics into the argument. The idea I proposed would work for them since they're not intending to incorporate any of the Fox movie happenings. See the question wasn't how do you explain these two and keep the stories from both intact(as that was never the goal) the question was how do you explain these two people being so different despite being the same character. To your earlier point, I use this site to read other's opinions and share my own, you use this site to instigate and argue so I understand why you might be confused.
