Question: Windows Enterprise / EDU Version - End of Life (EOL) Notification

Hello Microsoft Community - Enterprise, 

i have a general question about the Windows Enterprise / EDU Version and the End of Life (EOL) notification .

I have a general question about End of Life (EOL) and the notification process.

Could someone please explain and tell me exactly how is the notification process for Windows EOL in the Enterprise/EDU version? 

My understanding is this: For the Windows Home version, the notification is given 30 days in advance, see below. 
But what about the Enterprise/EDU version? Is it 36 ​​months in advance?

For products and services governed by the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/policies/modern, unless otherwise noted, Microsoft's policy is to provide a minimum 30 days' notification when customers are required to take action in order to avoid significant degradation to the normal use of the product or service.

I would appreciate your help.
