Look in System Preferences > Display for the display-size scaling settings

I don’t have an El Capitan system around to check, but this area hasn’t changed much...

Yes, yours is not a Retina...

You can increase the font size for Finder icon text, but beyond that, you will have to follow MrHoffman's recommendation.

For Finder icon text, press ⌘-J on the Desktop or Finder window to Show View Options.
